Google Docs will now use canvas based rendering: this may impact some
Chrome extensions

Tuesday, May 11, 2021

What's changing 

We're updating the way Google Docs renders documents. Over the course
of the next several months, we'll be migrating the underlying
technical implementation of Docs from the current HTML-based
rendering approach to a canvas-based approach to improve performance
and improve consistency in how content appears across different
platforms. 


We don't expect this change to impact the functionality of the
features in Docs. However, this may impact some Chrome extensions,
where they may no longer work as intended. 



Who's impacted 

Admins and developers 



Why it's important 

Some Chrome extensions rely on the way the backend of a Google Doc is
structured or specific bits of HTML to function properly. By moving
away from HTML-based rendering to a canvas-based rendering, some
Chrome extensions may not function as intended on docs.google.com and
may need to be updated. 


Admins should review the current extensions deployed in their
organization. See this file for an example of a Google Doc using
canvas-based rendering and to test out your extensions.


If you are building your own integrations with Google Docs, we
recommend using Google Workspace Add-ons framework, which uses the
supported Workspace APIs and integration points. This will help
ensure there will be less work in the future to support periodic UI
implementation changes to Docs. 


If your company has developed a private Chrome Extension that you
believe will be impacted and you are unable to migrate to the Google
Workspace Add-ons framework, you can submit this form to provide
feedback and notify our team. 



Getting started 

  * Admins and developers: 
      + To see an example of a Google Doc using canvas-based
        rendering, please see this example file. We strongly
        recommend reviewing the current extensions used in Google
        Docs that are deployed within your organization.
      + To ensure any Chrome extensions you build in-house continue
        to work as intended, we recommend migrating them to the
        Google Workspace Add-ons framework. 
  * End users: No action required. 



Rollout pace 

  * Google Docs will be migrating slowly from HTML to canvas based
    rendering over the course of the next several months.
