## How Document Studio Works

Document Studio allows you to automate the creation and sharing of documents in a few easy steps.

1. Add the source data in a Google spreadsheet or import from Excel and CSV files. You can also create documents from new Google Forms™ submissions.
2. Build your templates with markers in Google Docs™, Google Sheets™ or Google Slides™.
3. Document studio will quickly generate multiple documents, one per row in the source sheet, replacing the markers in the template with the actual data.

## Bonus Features in Document Studio

Document Studio includes Mail Merge so you can automatically send the generated documents to one or more recipients in personalized emails. The included WYSIWYG email designer helps you create nice looking emails with your own brand logo images.

All your documents are stored in Google Drive and you can personalized the file name as well the folder path where those files are saved. Use built-in sharing options to immediately share the generated documents with customers, team members or anyone else.

Your information is 100% safe in your Google Drive™. The add-on does not store, share, or upload any of your data.

✅ Getting Started Guide:
https://digitalinspiration.com/docs/document-studio/tutorial
Use Document Studio to process non-disclosure agreements (NDA) for your business. The client will fill out a Google Form™ and the automation workflow will convert those form submissions into PDF files. The PDF files are securely archived in your Google Drive™ and a copy of the agreement is also sent to the client as an email attachment. The workflow will also publish a message in the company's internal Slack channel to notify the team that a new vendor has signed up.
