Google Apps for Students at UB
Announcements from Google
Documents that you publish to the Web soon will be indexed and appear in Google
search results. Unpublish your document
if you do not want it searched.
9/18/2009: From Google
We wanted to let you know about some important changes
around published documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
In a few weeks, documents, spreadsheets and presentations that have been explicitly
published outside your organization and are linked to from a public website will be crawled and indexed,
which means they can appear in search results you see on Google.com and other search engines.
There is no change for documents published inside your organization or shared privately.
...
If a user does not want their published Docs to be crawled, then the user must unpublish
them by doing the following:
- Go to the 'Share tab'
- For documents and spreadsheets, choose 'Publish as web page'. For presentations choose 'Publish/embed'
- Click on the button that says 'Stop publishing'
For more details,
please see this Help Center article: http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=60781
This is a very exciting change as your published docs linked to from public
websites will reach a much wider audience of people! |
