Overview
EazyFormat is the powerful Google Docs™ add-on for flawless document formatting and citations. From lightning-fast style presets and granular custom formatting to an integrated Citation Manager (Reference Management), the add-on streamlines the tasks that steal your writing time.

Whether you’re applying publisher-ready APA, MLA, Harvard, or Chicago/Turabian formatting—or managing references with one-click insertion—EazyFormat ensures every page is compliant, polished, and professional.

✨ New! Integrated Citation Manager: Full-blown Reference Management software right in the Google Docs™
• Stop switching tabs to manage sources. The new built-in Citation Manager lets you find, create, and insert references without ever leaving your document.
• Seamless Citation Search: Instantly find and cite sources from Crossref, Google Books™, Open Library, and more using a DOI, ISBN, URL, or title.
• Automatic Formatting: EazyFormat builds precise in-text citations (parenthetical or narrative) and full bibliographies in APA, MLA, Chicago/Turabian, and Harvard styles.
• Personal Citation Library: Save, tag, pin, and manage your most-used citations. Your library is stored securely in a hidden folder on your Google Drive™, giving you full privacy and control.
• Accurate Metadata: EazyFormat automatically fetches and corrects metadata, ensuring accurate author names, dates, and publisher details.

✨ Key Formatting Features
✦ Academic & Custom Style Presets
• Standard Academic Styles: Instantly apply publisher-ready APA, MLA, Harvard, and Chicago/Turabian formatting. Each preset locks in the correct margins, line spacing, font, and heading structure.
• Custom Formatting Presets: Capture your own preferred formatting—fonts, sizes, spacing, colors—and save it as a preset. Apply your custom style to any document with a single click.
• Shareable Presets: Export and import custom presets to keep your team, company, or classroom perfectly aligned and maintaining a consistent brand.

✦ Smart Formatting Engine
 • Targeted Application: Apply formatting to your entire document or just a selected portion of text.
 • Content Protection: EazyFormat intelligently protects your existing content. It will not disrupt your Table of Contents, images, tables, drawings, or intentionally bolded/italicized text in the body

✨ Productivity & Cleanup Tools
 • Advanced Page Setup: Instantly adjust page size (A3, legal, custom novel sizes, etc.) and change the page color directly from the sidebar.
 • Document Cleanup: Remove all empty lines and redundant spaces from your document with one click to create a clean, professional final draft.

✨ Who Can Benefit
 • Professionals & Consultants: Produce polished proposals, reports, and technical docs that match corporate branding using custom presets.
 • Writers & Editors: Maintain a consistent house style across articles, books, and marketing collateral with reusable, shareable presets.
 • Educators: Distribute assignments with ready-made layout rules, helping students learn proper formatting without extra lectures.
 • Students & Researchers: Swap between APA, MLA, Harvard, and Chicago/Turabian instantly. Manage all your research citations in one place.

✨ Getting Started
 • Install EazyFormat: Find it on the Google Workspace™ Marketplace — if installation stalls, switch to Incognito or use a second browser profile.
 • Access the Add-on: Open any Google Doc, then navigate to Extensions → EazyFormat → Open Sidebar.
 • Apply or Create: Choose a standard style preset or design your own to get started.

* A Note on Multiple Accounts: If you use multiple Google accounts in the same browser, Google's add-on system can sometimes get confused. For the most stable experience, we recommend using a separate browser profile (like a Chrome Profile) for the account you use with EazyFormat.
