Google Docs Integration
Export Academe documents to Google Docs, collaborate with people outside your workspace, and keep everything in sync.
Connecting your account
Go to Settings and click Connect Google Account. You’ll be asked to grant Academe permission to create and edit documents in your Drive. Academe only accesses files it creates. It cannot read or modify your other Drive files.
Exporting to Google Docs
From any document, click Export → Google Docs. Academe creates a new Google Doc in your Drive with content, formatting, and citations preserved. The link is saved in your project for easy access.
Useful when you’re sharing a draft with collaborators outside Academe, or submitting through a platform that requires Google Docs.
Keeping documents in sync
After exporting, enable two-way sync. Changes in Academe push to Google Docs; changes in Google Docs pull back. You get Academe’s research and writing features while collaborating in Google Docs.
Limitations
- LaTeX equationsExported as images in Google Docs, which doesn’t support native LaTeX rendering.
- Citation interactivityFormatting is preserved as text, but click-to-jump citations only work inside Academe.
- Two-way syncRequires an active internet connection on both ends.
