Summer B (ID: 00000008bccf692a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/31/2017 REALLY wish this worked. All it does is let me type in the title of the doc I want the content to load to (can't even know if this extension connected to the doc). I highlighted the desired content, right clicked and selected this extension, but it just brought me to a page saying the developer "needs your permission to access your data on Google". I try reviewing permissions, and nothing happens. Really too bad because this extension would have been EXACTLY what I've been looking for :( Will try again sometime in the future, at which time I really hope I will be able to leave a happy update to this comment:)
