Google Docs for Confluence allows you to easily embed Google Docs files into your Confluence page.
✨ Features
View and edit your Google Docs files directly in Confluence
Easily customize the embedded viewer size
Instant document preview
⚡ How to use
Auto mode:
Copy the public URL address of your Google Docs file
Paste it into your Confluence editor
(Optional) Edit the viewer settings
Manual mode:
Copy the URL address of your Google Docs file
Open the Google Docs macro in Confluence typing
/docsPaste the URL of the file into the corresponding section
(Optional) Edit the viewer settings
Notes
If want to paste the link without embedding the file, just paste the URL followed by the undo command (Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z).
The recommended minimum width is 1350 px. You should set your Confluence page to full width since fixed width is 760px.
Your Google Docs file must be publicly viewable to be embedded correctly
If you click on the Google Sheets icon in the embedded viewer, the application may crash. Please refresh your browser page if this occurs. We are aware of this issue but since it is caused by a limitation of the Google platform it can’t be fixed at the moment.
Retrieve the URL
From the Share menu in Google Docs
Set the privacy to “Anyone with the link” and copy the link. If you want the embedded file to be in “view only” mode, select “Viewer” from the dropdown menu to the right.
When you restrict the link permissions from editor to viewer, anyone who is not the owner of the Google Docs file will no longer be able to change the permissions.
Directly from the address bar
When you’re navigating the document in your browser, copy the URL from the address bar. This link will contain the same settings you have already set in the Share menu.
Publishing to the web
If you want to embed the document without the editor interface, publish the file and copy the link from the publishing menu.
