Frequently Asked Questions about Google Docs to Markdown
Does this require Google OAuth permissions?
No, you only need to ensure the document is set to 'Anyone with the link can view'. For private team drives, connect via CustomerGPT dashboard.
Are footnotes and comments included in the Markdown?
The converter extracts the primary document body text, headers, lists, and tables cleanly.
What sharing setting does the document need?
Anyone with the link must be able to view it. A document restricted to named accounts cannot be fetched, because the converter has no credentials for your Google account. For private documents, connect Google Drive to CustomerGPT instead.
Are comments and suggestions included?
No. The converter reads the document body as a viewer would see it, so comments, suggested edits and revision history stay behind. Resolve or accept anything that needs to appear in the output first.
Do images and drawings come across?
Text and structure are converted; embedded images and Google Drawings are not. Markdown references images by URL, so anything visual needs to be exported and hosted separately.
