Sorry about not uploading, I'm going to try to set a goal to at least upload once a week.

Anyway, there isn't any good video tutorials for the Google Docs API so after learning Google Apps Script for Docs and going through the references I finally learned, and I won't keep this knowledge to myself.

Also this is to learn the Google Docs API. This is a very small exercise. Eventually once you get a grip you can explore more in the Google Docs references and get a better idea of how the API works. This isn't the only video I'm releasing on the Google Docs API by the way. :)

All the source code is here. I may put it on a website or something in the future. https://script.google.com/d/1-qKpiEXJ...

If you don't know HTML and JS you need to learn that before you dive into making a google docs addon. I learned by Khan Academy, but if you want you can learn elsewhere on Codecademy, or even tutorials on youtube!

This time, all the atmospheric environmental music awesomeness you're hearing in the background is by Raymond Cripps. I used Opal, Metro, and Flare.    / @raymondcripps

When in doubt always check the references (even if they're hard to read) https://developers.google.com/apps-sc...

And check out the Google Apps Script discord. They're mostly for Google Sheets but they can help.   / discord
The Google Apps Script reddit can also be a good place to get help.   / googleappsscript

Thats it folks. Next video I'll talk about actually making a google docs addon and running it inside Google Docs.
