Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use Google Sheets to submit URLs for archiving to the Wayback Machine and track their status:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Google Sheet:
- Create a new Google Sheet.
- In the first column, list all the URLs you want to archive.

2. Add Required Columns:
- Add columns for `Status Code` and `Wayback URL` to track the archiving process.

3. Install the Wayback Machine Sheets Service:
- Visit the [Wayback Machine Sheets Service](https://archive.org/web/web.php) provided by the Internet Archive.
- Follow the instructions to link the service with your Google Sheet. You'll need to authorize access to your Google account.

4. Submit URLs for Archiving:
- Once set up, the Wayback Machine service will start processing your URLs.
- The `Status Code` column will display results such as `200` for a successful archive or other HTTP status codes for errors.
- The `Wayback URL` column will show the URL of the archived page in the Wayback Machine.

5. Monitor and Review:
- Check your Google Sheet periodically to see the status updates and archived URLs.
- Address any errors by re-submitting problematic URLs or checking for issues on the original pages.

Additional Tips:
- Batch Submissions: If you have a large number of URLs, consider breaking them into smaller batches to avoid overwhelming the service.
- Error Handling: If you encounter persistent errors, check the original URLs for issues or consult the Internet Archive's support for guidance.

This method provides a convenient way to automate the archiving process and keep track of your URLs.
