There are certain things that Google Docs does well, and some things where we’d like more options. This is where you can install add-ons. These add-ons are coming from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
These are additional applications that can run inside Google Docs. Google add-ons are just like an extension for Google Chrome. Just as extensions add new features to the Chrome browser, add-ons extend the functionality of the Google Suite applications. A lot of these are free and available so you can explore some of them.
1. Open Google Docs, and go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons.
