Google 附加组件 for Docs, 表, and Forms
附加组件 are third-party tools available in Google 开车 applications (currently in Docs, 表, 和形式). They add specific functionality to the apps, such as mail merge capabilities, 添加新字体, adding individual cells to a 床单, merging data in two columns, 等.
Because 附加组件 are from third-party developers, they are not covered by our 谷歌应用程序 for Education terms of service. Review an Add-on’s request to access your data before deciding if you want to use it. This is especially important if you own sensitive data or data covered by HIPAA or FERPA. You can also seek advice from the Computing 帮助 Desk.

A note about security, sensitive information, and privacy
Google 附加组件 are developed by third-parties and are NOT covered by the 服务条款 Agreement between Wellesley College and Google. Make sure you fully understand the functionality of the Add-on and review any documentation related to the Add-on before enabling it. If you do not understand or cannot find the terms of use or privacy policy for an Add-on, contact the 帮助 Desk for consultation (x3333, helpdesk@韦尔斯利.edu).
附加组件 should be considered commercial applications that do not guarantee privacy. Do not use 附加组件 that connect to an external service to store or manipulate any sensitive information. Follow institutional policies, particularly the Written Information 安全 Program, when considering installing a Google Add-on. If you are not sure which applications or add-ons you have given permissions to, see the how to review and remove current Permissions in your Google Account. LTS, in consultation with the ACLTP, may audit Add-on installations and may disable access to any and all 附加组件 at any time.
How to install Add-ons
You can install add-ons by opening a Google Doc, 床单, 或形式, click on the 附加组件 menu, then choose Get add-ons. You can browse and search all the available add-ons. See our section on how to evaluate the quality of an Add-on before installing it (link to below). 单击 name of the add-on to see more information about it, including screenshots, 视频, user reviews and ratings. 单击 blue +FREE 
How to use
Each add-on is different and supported by different companies. Most add-ons will add menus to the menubar and will include a link to 帮助 for the add-on. If you have any questions, please check the add-on company’s website, or contact the 帮助 Desk for assistance.
Sharing Docs/表/Forms with 附加组件 installed
When you use an Add-on in a Google doc, 床单, or form that is shared with other users, that add-on will run in a limited capacity for all collaborators, regardless of whether or not they have it installed as well. This allows them to see the Add-on in the 附加组件 menu and to see the results of any process the Add-on completes in the file. The Add-on will not have access to your collaborators’ files and information beyond that unless they themselves install the Add-on. A collaborator may install the Add-on directly from your shared file without reviewing our security information.
How to uninstall
In a Google doc, 床单, or form under the 附加组件 menu, choose 管理插件. You will see a list of add-ons installed in your account. 单击 管理 button to see a menu that will often link to help, tutorials, and remove options.
