Open in Google

Edit source files directly in Google Drive with automatic sync to Content Hub

The Google Workspace Integration connects Content Hub with Google Drive, allowing you to work seamlessly with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. When viewing files synced from Google Drive in Content Hub, you can now open and edit the source file directly in the native Google editor (Docs, Sheets, or Slides). Any changes you make automatically sync back to Content Hub, ensuring your content stays up-to-date across both platforms. Files synced from Google Drive display with Google-specific badging (Doc, Sheet, Slide) so you can easily identify which files support this feature.
