TXT file for my dns

[ITGeek]

HI, I am hoping someone can help me. This whole google and square space debacle. I have a domain name that I bought at squares space, but my web site pages are at google sites. When I first registered the account I had to verify ownership, I didn't copy down the txt file to send to SP. The site registered and authenticated. now I am being told they need my txt file from google in order to get it added to my dns at SP. How do I get my txt file if its already been authorized.?

do I need to delete my ownership and redo it again?

thanks

M.

You don't have to revalidate you Domain If its already activated.

The validation code is a one time code generated randomly to activate you console and after validation you can't use It anymore.

But, the code probably ia in your DNS zone If you didn't delete it.

On a side note i don't get the whole Idea.

Até you trying tô create cnames for your Google sites?

If yes, you can generate the links on the admin console:

The issue is after you get and verify a domain name, then you have to perform various set up and during this process, you discover your Google website is not visible on your new domain, even though it's verified. The solution is to go to the square space and add two records, one for a txt and one for cname. However, to add the txt record, you need the verification code.. and none of the instructions tell you where to locate it specifically. I do not see it in either admin console. It also says to register the domain with a registrar, but this is not from the set up, so it's not clear if this is required or how to do it

Sorry, I didn't checked that was about google sites.
You need to create a new entry in the admin console, following this instructions:

Here the tutorial to add the entry in square space:

Can you send me the entry you're trying to add.
Other than that, check if the provider auto insert your domain on the entry, because this is common in some providers

I'm having the same issue. The instructions tell you to go square space and add 2 records to the DNS profile, a txt record and cname record. I found the cname record details, but you need the original record on Google to they the verification code. 

It does say you can obtain this from a registrar, just I'm not sure how to do that part. The domain I have was verified already, but it is not showing my website.
