Online File Creation and Editing with Google Docs™

Although you can add and edit Documents and Media files via upload and download, Liferay DXP doesn’t contain a UI that lets you author or edit documents directly. You can, however, create and edit Documents and Media files online in Google Docs™, Google Sheets™, and Google Slides™.

Note: For simplicity and readability, this documentation refers only to Google Docs™. The material, however, also applies to Google Sheets™ and Google Slides™.

Note that when you use Google Docs™ to create or edit a Documents and Media file, that file isn’t permanently stored in Google Docs™. Google Docs™ is only used for its editing UI. Your edits are then saved to the Documents and Media Library.
