In Step 5, "Publish the Updated Script as a Web App", the image shows the screen for publishing/deploying the script/app, but the text does not emphasize (nor does the image highlight) that a new user must also change the access permissions to "Anyone, even anonymous".

Without this clarification or highlight in the image, there have been numerous issues deploying the script. It might be worthwhile to have a note in that step what error you will get if you do not change the access permissions (for searchability).

This has been noted in various issues #45, #48, #81 - if @OdinTR or @Min11Benja or @Guillaume-slize have any comments / other suggestions for improvements, please let us know! This is definitely on our radar, so thanks for pointing this out!
