# Google Docs

> Create Scanova QR Codes directly in Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets.

The Google Docs integration is the **Scanova QR Codes** add-on, distributed through Google Workspace Marketplace — not an OAuth connection. Nothing syncs back into Scanova; it lets you generate a QR Code without leaving Docs, Slides, or Sheets.

<Note>
  This is a **Design** category integration, labeled "Google Docs Add-on" in the catalog since the same add-on works across Docs, Slides, and Sheets. It has no "Active connection" state and doesn't count against your integration connection quota — clicking through it in Scanova just opens the Workspace Marketplace listing.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* A Scanova account (any plan).
* A Google account with permission to install Workspace add-ons (in a managed workspace, an admin may need to approve it first).

## Installing the add-on

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the integration from Scanova">
    In the Scanova dashboard, go to **Integrations** in the left sidebar, click **Browse all integrations**, then filter to the **Design** category. Click **Setup** on the **Google Docs Add-on** card to open its setup panel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Workspace Marketplace listing">
    Click **Open in marketplace**. This opens the add-on's [Google Workspace Marketplace listing](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/scanova_qr_codes/831759720554) in a new tab.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Install from Docs, Slides, or Sheets directly">
    Alternatively, install it from inside any of the three apps:

    1. Open Google Docs, Slides, or Sheets.
    2. Go to **Extensions → Add-ons → Get add-ons**.
    3. Search for **Scanova QR Codes** and click **Install**.
    4. Open it from the **Extensions** menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate a QR Code">
    With the add-on open in the sidebar, sign in with your Scanova account, then create or insert a QR Code straight into the document, slide, or spreadsheet you're working on.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What it's for

Use this when a document, presentation, or spreadsheet is where the work already happens — a proposal, a slide deck, an inventory sheet — and you want a live Scanova QR Code embedded in it instead of pasting in a static image generated elsewhere.
