Hi @Elimboto! As you are new to the community, when you get a chance, please introduce yourself [here](https://forum.odk-x.org/t/introduce-yourself/642).

I’d also encourage you to add a real picture as your avatar because it helps build community!

ODK-X does not publish to google sheets as a database, but rather ODK-X sync endpoint ([ODK-X Sync Endpoint — ODK-X Docs](https://docs.odk-x.org/sync-endpoint/)) is the corresponding database. You can also [import](https://docs.odk-x.org/tables-managing/#importing-data) and [export](https://docs.odk-x.org/tables-managing/#exporting-data) csvs from tablets if your goal is to have spreadsheets
