A standalone script is any script that is not bound to a Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, or Forms file. These scripts appear among your files in Google Drive.
Creating a standalone scriptThe easiest way to create a standalone script is to visit script.google.com
and at the top left, click addNew project.
You can also create standalone scripts from Google Drive. Go to Google Drive and click New > More > Google Apps Script.
Running a standalone scriptTo run a function from the script editor, at the top, select the name of the function you want to execute and click Run.
Using a standalone scriptMany standalone scripts are utility scripts — for example, to search your Google Drive for old files whose name contains "untitled" so that you can delete them.
A standalone script can also be deployed as a web app or set up to run automatically from an installable trigger.
Apps Script standalone scripts are suitable for lightweight add-on development for yourself, your team, or your organization. For larger projects, consider building a Google Workspace add-on on a different runtime environment.
