  • Previously, web applications such as Facebook, Twitter, and Gmail were popular examples, but they have undergone significant advancements. Even Google Docs has undergone significant evolution.
  • First, we should be aware that there are many types of software. Let's take the case of Google Docs as it is a "software" that can be used by a broad audience for a basic daily use: creating a (rich text printable) document.
  • There are three Google Docs apps.
  • - Web app
  • - Android app
  • - iPhone and iPad app
  • Also, the Google Docs web app might be extended by using Google Apps Script.
  • >! Click on the Extensions menu, then Apps Script. This will open a new tab showing a code editor. Here the user could create a custom menu to call a function, let's say to highlight all the words between underscores and remove the underscores. A custom menu is created by declaring a function using a reserved name. The function called is written using JavaScript and uses Google Apps Script services that handle the required authorization and the client-server communication on behalf of the user.
  • Also, Google Docs has a Google Docs API.
  • Also, Google Docs using the web app might be edited offline using Google Chrome but not other web browsers.
  • Also, Google Docs downloaded to a local storage unit by using Google Drive software had the Google Docs URL instead of the document content.
  • Are any questions about Google Docs on the web, Android, iPhone and iPad, using JavaScript or the API on-topic on Power User?

  • P.S. At this time, there is only one question about Google Docs:
