Google Drive is a great tool to manage your documentation, and writing samples, and collaborate and comment on each other's work. However, you can make your life even easier thanks to the Google add-ons. Read on and see which one could be useful for you and install them right away.

Translate My Sheet

For those of you who work with Google Sheets in different languages

This add-on is particularly handy if you often work with Google Sheets and need to translate text occasionally. Its massive algorithm can translate your document into more than 100 languages with just one click. Download Translate My Sheet here.

Table Styles

To create custom tables

Creating tables in Google Sheets is not easy, especially if you are not 100% confident in your Sheets/Excel skills. Create your own templates, change colors, graphics, and sizes and organize your tables how you want. You can download Table Styles here.

Doc Builder

For those of you who work with contracts or other documents with repeated text

If you often use some parts of the text repeatedly (eg, editing a contract draft/pitch), there is a way you can facilitate copy-pasting. With Doc Builder, you can have these text parts at your fingertips saved for later. You can find them in the sidebar on your Google Doc, so you can easily access them and insert them wherever you need. 

Text Cleaner

To clear formatting in a single click

If you work with different sources and have to compile texts or documents using parts of texts from various media, Text Cleaner add-on for Google Docs might come in handy. This add-on helps you to clear formatting in a smart way: you choose the formatting elements before and the app applies them to your text automatically. So no HTML codes are mixed up with different fonts and text alignments. Ideal for doc pedants!

Slides Toolbox

To facilitate your daily work with Google Slides

Slides Toolbox is a helper and time-saver if you often work with Google Slides. It allows you to automatically create a table of contents, export slides, set casing, font size, and more. As a bonus option – you can export all the text from the presentation to a text file.
