New Google Doc Tabs issue

Hello, Google Docs recently added Tabs to organise the documents. Paperpile is having trouble formatting citations with this feature. I tried to recreate the issue, it seems (from my test) that Paperpile will only recognise the first tab and will format it okay, but later tabs won’t format. See here for example - Tab 1 formatted the citations, Tab 2 didn’t

Anyone else have similar issues?

Thanks for the report, @Keirdre. It does seem like the new Tabs feature is not working so well with our extension, so the team is looking into it. Our optional sidebar add-on does appear to work correctly across tabs, so that can be used as a workaround in the meantime.

Hi Vicente, thanks. I’ll experiment with that until there’s a fix. Cheers.

Hi, any updates on this? Thanks!

Thanks for following up on this, @dogancan. I’m happy to say the team is working on a rewrite of our Google Docs plugin. Our new plugin will be able to handle citations and bibliographies in Google Docs tabs. The plan is to provide options for bibliographies within each tab, as well as a single, combined bibliography for the entire tabbed document.

thank you!
