• Replace text - Find and replace strings across the entire document
• Delete content - Remove specific text ranges
• Apply paragraph styles - Set headings (H1–H6), body text, and named styles

• Insert tables - Add structured tables with specified rows and columns
• Get document metadata - Title, document ID, revision ID

Try Asking

Pro Tips

• Documents are identified by their Drive file ID - the agent can look this up from a name
• Batch all edits into a single batchUpdate request for efficiency - the agent handles this automatically
• Content index positions are character-based; the agent tracks them relative to named sections
• Combining Docs + Drive: search Drive for a document, then edit its content in one workflow
• Exports are supported in PDF, plain text, HTML, DOCX formats
• Formatting changes don't affect content - safe to apply after writing
