We’ve been working on a new Google Docs add-on for quite some time. While it still lacks a few key features, it is ready to test and we would appreciate early feedback.
To install the add-on go to the (currently still private) listing in the Google Docs add-on store:
https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/paperpile/894076725911
A bit of background about this new add-on:
- It is not meant to replace our current plugin which is still the fastest way to insert citations and can be used in parallel with the new add-on.
- It allows us to implement features which have not been technically possible (e.g. export for Endnote/Word, “unformat” of citations, remove of citations links or replacing them with more useful web links)
- It only uses official Google APIs so it is fully supported by Google and in case our current plugin breaks it serves as a fallback.
- It works on every browser, will be available for free and does not require a Paperpile account. That should facilitate collaboration and extend Paperpile’s reach.
