Pick a source: connected account or public link

You get the choice with the first five apps. Google Analytics works only with a connected account.

Connected Google account: you pick the file from a list and don't have to copy a link. Private files work too. You can also connect the account beforehand from Settings > Connections with Connect.
Public link: paste the URL of the Google file. No connection needed, but the file has to be shared publicly. A spreadsheet also has to be published to the web (in Google Sheets: File > Share); sharing it through a link alone is not enough for that.

Some fields only appear with a connected account. That is called out per app below.

Google Slides

The presentation loads straight from Google, so there is nothing for you to export.

Auto-advance (sec): default 5, anywhere from 1 to 60.
Transition (connected account only): Presentation default, None, Fade, Slide right, Slide left, Rotate in, Flip, Gallery, and Zoom in. Presentation default is the starting value.
Transition speed (ms) (connected account only): Fast, Normal, or Slow.

With a public presentation, Google uses its own transitions and slide timings; the settings above take full effect on a private presentation.

Google Sheets

Sheet (gid): pick which tab is shown.
Range (connected account only): Full or Cell range.
Cell range (only with Cell range): a range such as A1:D10.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I manage the connection with Google?

From Settings > Connections. That is where you connect and disconnect the Google account for your team.

My public link doesn't work.

Check in Google that the file really is shared publicly, and that a spreadsheet is also published to the web. If that isn't possible, connect your Google account and pick the file from the list.
