Quickstart samples offer quick, proof-of-concept code samples to get you
working with Apps Script in under five minutes. Quickstarts are available for
most Apps Script project types.

Google Doc and emails you a link to it.
Solution
Solution samples are fully functional Apps Script projects. Solutions address
realistic business problems and showcase how you can automate workflows across
Google Workspace. Often, you can implement solutions without needing to edit or
update the code.
Codelabs are hands-on, step-by-step technical tutorials. They combine
explanation, working best-practice sample code, and code exercises. Codelabs are
available for most Google developer products and are published on the
Codelab catalogue.
Find Apps Script-specific codelabs at the left under Codelabs.
You can also find Apps Script samples on GitHub.
You can fork these repositories and use the code as a reference for your own
projects.
