Next Steps (8:50)

    • Fix the templates to include these labels

Comments (2:25)

    • The templates need work but they are populating the fields as needed.
      • Another step (not now): Use the extension that allows a new section to be programmatically adsded.
      • Format of the code can be controlled better by removing the opportunity to make mistakes (typos)
      • Meta: Think about include the following per-section as the title
        • Time
        • Comment
        • Label
        • Location
    • Q: Does Excel in Gdocs [ermit comparison between revisions?

Next Steps (2:25)

    • Demo excel upload, search, list, and view
      • Use the non-spreadsheet API
      • Save the time/date in calendar as a log
      • This is to re-establish the existing model
        • Once it works, then break it into parts and deploy as separate extensions
        • Search
        • File Upload
        • View document
        • List documents
