Hi

It was a great event and very useful tips, thanks to all for this 😊

And just one question to @karaireland , I saw you clicked on a bookmark to "IDE wide", Could you please share how to do that? I loved it and like to do the same in my side. It will be very useful to me. 🙏

Thanks 

Regards

Hi @luis_alegria!

You can add the following as a bookmark in your browser to get the same effect:

javascript:(function() {const style = document.querySelector('div[jsname="Iq1FLd"]').style;if (style.display == 'none') style.display = '';else style.display = 'none';})()

 I hope that helps!

Hi @karaireland 😃 

Thanks 🙌, I added it to my chrome bookmarks ( I read some pages and it is a bookmarlet, I didn't know that, I loved it 😃).

It works like a charm 😊

By the way, I  changed this part in code: " : " for " : "

If someone need it, I followed this steps in Chrome in the Bookmark manager:

  • Add a new Bookmark
  • Write down a name, maybe "IDE wide"
  • In the URL space, add the code 

javascript:(function() {const style = document.querySelector('div[jsname="Iq1FLd"]').style;if (style.display == 'none') style.display = '';else style.display = 'none';})()

( NOTE: if I use the INSERT CODE SAMPLE option, the shown code changed  ":" with ":" )

Regards

This session was amazing! The delivery format was spot on - tips and tricks, featuring developers, demo's, and the links to the demo's straight after. Insanely well crafted session.
So practical - I loved the ability to show link data in Docs; and how you can add emoji's in the button menu's, and the advice not to start from scratch.  This is Definately one we will be pushing our partners to use and leverage.

Candice, I'm agree with you!! This is my first session I hope there will be more like this 😊.

This session was amazing, many pro tips that will be useful for me

My favorites were:

  • Arrays to Object / arrays handling 
  • Show link data in Docs
  • Chat messages
  • How to search scripts in GDrive 
  • Slides automation to create it from Sheets data

 If there is a list with links to the tips, share it please, thanks🙌

URGENT issue has just appeared today: any Web Apps or Add-ons that use client-side JavaScript (i.e. nearly all of them) have stopped working in Chrome today - see: 

Reported by Airbus and other big Google Workspace clients so hopefully you can escalate to get it resolved quickly.

Yikes! Thanks for reporting @StephenHind - There is a PO task assigned to a eng folks so fingers crossed a fix will land soon...

Thanks for being on top of it @StephenHind @CharlesMaxson !
