Display and edit file properties from Google Drive

With the AODocs Smartbar installed, you can display and edit the properties of your AODocs documents directly from Google Drive.

1. Hover over an AODocs document in Google Drive and click the Show / Edit the properties & workflow button.

Notes:
– This button only appears if your library administrator has defined one or more custom properties or a workflow for your document class.
– This button doesn't appear for documents in the list of results after running a search in all your Google Drive files. However, it is shown after using the AODocs search in folder feature.

Alternatively, you can:

• open your file in the Google Docs, Sheets or Slides editor and click the Show / Edit the properties & workflow button
  
  Note: When you have a pending workflow action to perform on the document, a red dot appears on the Show / Edit the properties & workflow button.

• open your file in the Google Drive file preview and select Show / Edit the properties & workflow in the Smartbar menu

Note: If you use the navigation buttons in the Google Drive file preview, the Smartbar menu is no longer accessible.

2. The Document information dialog opens and includes:

• the document title and action bar, which contains:
  • the workflow button (if a workflow is associated with the document), to perform a workflow action - learn more: Perform workflow actions from Google Drive
