PageCrawl can monitor publicly shared Google Sheets, Google Docs, and other Google Drive files for text changes. When content is added, edited, or removed, you receive a notification with a diff showing exactly what changed.

### Requirements

The Google file must be accessible via a shareable link. In Google Drive, set the sharing to **"Anyone with the link can view"** to allow PageCrawl to access the content.

### Setup

1. Click **Track New Page**
2. Paste the shareable link to your Google Sheet, Doc, or Drive file
3. PageCrawl detects the file type and shows the appropriate configuration
4. Choose your check frequency and notification preferences
5. Save

|-----------|----------------|
| **Google Sheets** | Cell text content across all sheets |
| **Google Docs** | Full document text |
| **Google Drive files** | Text content (for supported formats like PDF, DOCX) |
