Overwriting existing Google spreadsheet via API (C#)

Question

I would like to overwrite an existing and shared Google spreadsheet X with an other existing Google spreadsheet Y via Drive API v3 or Scripts API from C#. Both are on my own GDrive. Since X is already shared with others, I would like to overwrite spreadsheet X by keeping its URL (and ID).

What I tried: copying sheet-by-sheet is not enough because there is a GAS script behind the spreadsheet and other metadata which is not merged by sheet-by-sheet copy. I need complete overwrite.

Thanks.

Answer 1

It's not possible to do a "complete overwrite" in the same sense that it could be done in several file systems.

In example, revision history and activity tracking can not be removed.
