Install and use add-ons (English only)

You can use add-ons to do more with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms. To find what’s available, go to the Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms add-on stores.

Important: The Google Editor add-ons are moving from the Chrome Web Store to the Google Workspace Marketplace. Note the following:

• If an add-on hasn't been moved to the Google Workspace Marketplace, you won't be able to install it.
• If you've previously installed an add-on that hasn't been moved to the Google Workspace Marketplace, you'll still be able to use it.
• If you're working on a document with others, and you turn on an add-on that hasn't moved to the Google Workspace Marketplace, only people who have previously installed that add-on will be able to use it.
• Some previously installed add-ons might need to be re-installed across Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms. Learn how to install an add-on.
• If you're a developer, learn how to migrate your add-ons to the Google Workspace Marketplace.
