Maybe private docs could also use the text field to have a note about that status? E.g. just put “_Document is private_” there.

This is perfect, except for a minor quibble:
This works: `https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/gibberish/edit`
But this doesn’t: `https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/gibberish`
Both are valid URLs as far as Google Docs is concerned.

Sure @techapj can you have a look at that?

FWIW, I find the summaries for public documents underneath the title to be overlong and redundant.
For Google Sheets in particular, the summary is confusing as it runs along the column headings with data.
Real-world example:
I don’t see this as useful at all.
I would love an option to turn the summaries off – or to turn them off entirely, unless there are stalwart fans of them.

Yeah it feels like there is other metadata that is far more interesting.
- Creation date of the document
- Last editor
- Last edit
Perhaps we can pick that up instead?

Accessing that data will require API credentials. Currently we are relying on OpenGraph data which provides title, type, description (summary), image (snippet).

I’m just started to try out the google docs onebox. The following link: ([https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lAuOv25IyOQgvkrTQb0ijKQhigAIeRrm2DoJUOsUiDQ/pubhtml?gid=1732160294&single=true](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lAuOv25IyOQgvkrTQb0ijKQhigAIeRrm2DoJUOsUiDQ/pubhtml?gid=1732160294&single=true)) is puplished and are able to access through the browser or from the onebox even. But still said as you could see below; “`This Sheet is Private`”.

Hmm, this has really screwed us over at [www.talk.manvfat.com](http://www.talk.manvfat.com) we used embedded Google Spreadsheets as a way for guys to record their weights, the spreadsheet then calculated BMI, etc.
e.g. - how it used to work for us:
[https://talk.manvfat.com/t/weigh-in-day-16th-december/18283](https://talk.manvfat.com/t/weigh-in-day-16th-december/18283)
What it looks like now:
[https://talk.manvfat.com/t/weigh-in-day-06-01-2017/18738](https://talk.manvfat.com/t/weigh-in-day-06-01-2017/18738)
We also used them as a way of running tracking threads - e.g. guys who wanted to track days off booze, etc.
It wasn’t perfect (mobile users didn’t report great functionality) so it could have been improved but neither of those functions can be replicated by Discourse as standard, so to my mind, you’ve stripped away something without much thought about who might be using this function.
Is there any other way of doing this? Any suggestions?

Create a custom plugin based on old onebox code.

Bummed that we lost the ability to embed Google Docs. The ability to easily iframe a Google Doc was a nice way to get shared notes in front of people’s eyes who are less likely to click through to a separate document. I wish there was a way to get the original embedded behavior (e.g., put “embed:” in front of the URL). Oh well. :sadpanda:

이 문제에 대한 우회책이 여전히 없나요? 최소한 슬라이드 덱을 임베드할 수 있다면 매우 유용할 것 같습니다.
