Google launches add-ons for its office apps
The time of simple and simple applications, dedicated to a single objective, has passed. Or at least that is clear from the latest movement of Google, which expands the usefulness of its office tools with additions and complements that add functionality to what has been seen to date . Something like applications applications to complete tools that already allowed working almost as efficiently on mobiles and tablets as a laptop and desktop computer.
These are addons intended to work with Google Docsand Google Sheets, two of the search engine company's office applications, which can be used to read , create and edit text documents and data tables, respectively. Well, now other third-party applications will be able to carry out extra functions such as digitally sign documents or add CRM data to files created with applications from Google Or even transfer data from a document to another application with full integration , without having to copy and paste or juggle.
The idea is that more developers create these add-ons and plugins for Google apps, turning them into real editing programs useful in everything type of devices.So far, this new integration feature has been presented in collaboration with eight developers who have already created different add-on tools to perform functions that Google applications don't contained.
At the moment it is already possible to sign a document and save it in Google Drive To do this, there is only You have to access said documents from the Google application and use the add-on offered by DocuSign Similarly, the add-on ProsperWorks , allows you to collect CRM information and translate it into a spreadsheet to create reports, graphs and dashboards without much effort. For its part, the AppSheet plugin offers you to create applications directly through data previously stored in a spreadsheet, without the need to write code or know how to program. Google has also welcomed the added tool Scanbot, capable of scanning documents thanks to its character recognition to transform them into editable documents.But these are just some of the plugins already available.
To prevent users from getting lost in a sea of applications, Google has also created a section exclusively for collecting these additions to Google Play Store Just go through this section to find the different tools already available for download.Of course, this section will be filled with new content as more developers begin to create their own tools and add-ons to link functions to office applications from Google
To be able to use these add-ons, of course, it is necessary to have the latest version of Google Docs, available for free at Google Play StoreThe same goes for the Google Spreadsheet app, which can be downloaded via said store At the moment, it is an exclusive feature of the platform Android
