Creating Google Docs content in the library

You can easily create Google Docs documents, spreadsheets, and presentations from SkyVault.
Files you edit are temporarily stored in Google Docs, then removed from Google Docs once they've been checked back in to SkyVault.
  1. Select the folder in the site library where you want to add the content.

    You can create new folders as necessary.

  2. Click Create and select the type of Google Docs item you want to create.

    Important: The first time you access Google Docs you have to authorize SkyVault to use your account. If you have a Google Username in your SkyVault profile then it will be used as the default account. After responding to the prompts a message lets you know that the authorization was successful.

    SkyVault stores your Google Docs account information. You will need to authorize SkyVault each session, but you won't have to re-enter your credentials each time.

    If your browser asks you to allow popups for Google Docs then go ahead and do so.

    Google Docs opens with standard Google Docs functionality available, including the menu, the toolbar, and the features to add comments and share.

  3. Click the default title to rename the file. On the Rename Document dialog box, enter a name and click OK.

    Note: You can also rename the item in the SkyVault.
  4. Create your content.

    The file is saved to Google Docs, and locked in SkyVault until you check it in.

  5. When you're done, close the Google Docs browser tab.

    In SkyVault you'll see the file displays the Geolocation metadata icon icon to show that it's open in Google Docs.

  6. In SkyVault, click More then Check In Google Doc.
