Before landing on the site where you’re reading it (thanks, by the way!), this article was crafted in Google Docs. We guess you use it too for writing and formatting because it’s handy and free.
But, doing more than writing and editing – like checking for plagiarism – isn’t simple. Google Docs lacks a built-in tool for this. So, teachers, students, and writers must find a trusted plagiarism checker, paste the text they need to check, and handle it on another platform. It’s manageable with one document, but with many, it gets tough.
That’s where Google Docs add-ons help out.
Extensions boost what Google Docs can do, letting users add features that aren’t built-in. For example, plagiarism-checking extensions can scan the text to find similarities and show results directly in the document!
