Important Usage Notes

  • To use this add-on, you have to have an internet connection. Not all tournaments have wifi, so be ready to use a hot spot. If you enable offline editing, you will still have access to your files.
  • Google Docs starts to have problems with really large files. So your 1000 page impact defense file might take a long time to load. Consider splitting files into several smaller files.
  • Google Docs cannot edit Word docs, so you cannot use the add-on with your Word files directly. Google Docs allows you to make a Google Doc version of the file, which you can then edit with the add-on.
