Is there a way to embed a Google Doc file in a webpage and display a button to pop it out to Google Docs? - google-docs

I have built a guide which I want to share with an audience. We want to use Google Docs to create the guide and embed it in a webpage and display a popout button ( similar the old PDF Viewer) . I noticed that some sites have been able to create a popout button which sits next to the doc which allows you to open the original Google doc.
Is there a clear method to create the embedded doc and have the document show? When I have tried publishing the content - it doesn't seem to give me the option to popout doc into Google docs.

I am writing this answer in order to expand my comment. The guide on my comment describes how to publish a file to the web, so it becomes accessible. Once you do that, you may want to embed it into your webpage. In that case please check this other guide to learn how. Please let me know if you need further help.

Have libraries navigation using arrows in Sharepoint Online

I am currently working on the homepage on a Sharepoint online site.
Is there a way to allow the user to navigate between some libraries using arrows? Kind of the same as Image Gallery web part but instead of having images, have directly the different library displayed.
Thank you in advance for the help !
We can not use SharePoint modern document web part, so we could use DetailedList instead.
Official example renderings:
We can write a button on the left and right of the DetailedList to switch the data source of the DetailedList.
Then you can achieve the effect similar to the carousel.

Links i harmon.ie offers a download, not the actual SharePoint document

When I attach a link in an email using harmon.ie, I get an url that includes the file name. However when the recipient clicks it, it starts to download a copy instead of opening the actual SharePoint document.
The link is typically on this format:
[company].sharepoint.com/sites/[subsite]/[library]/[filename.docx]
The same link retrieved directly from SharePoint would look something like this:
[company].sharepoint.com/:w:/s/sites/[subsite]/EZ31C3wRKuVPnOOB7vNGMsMBiI9eYAjGTuiaEODu_c3wpw
That link will typically open the document in SharePoint as expected.
It did not use to be like this. The links from harmon.ie used to open documents instead of downloading copies. I am afraid I cannot say when we discovered this, but I believe it was a couple of months ago. We are using the free plan, and are not qualified for support from harmon.ie. We were pointed in the direction of this forum, and I would be most grateful if someone could help us.
Thanks

Harmon.ie creates plain valid links to Sharepoint document and they are opened by default browser (like any link you will add inside an email)
The behavior is only controlled by the browser not by harmon.ie (you can check it out by adding the url in the browser)
The only solution to control the behavior is to use the feature to generate OWA link so that it opens in Office online.
Indeed, we have feature allowing to create links that will open in OWA (hence in the browser)
Please read carefully register key: GenerateOWALinks as detailed at https://harmon.ie/provision-harmonie-outlook-all-users
Note also that if the recipient of the email has harmon.ie installed, he can right click on the link, select Open in Harmon.ie. The document will appear in harmon.ie sidebar (at the Sharepoint location), double clicking on it with open the document in MS Word.
Thanks,

Embed view into Sharepoint

How do you embed a Tableau report into sharepoint? I do not want to use a webpart to embed a webpage I just want the tableau report not the entire view that comes from the webpart I frame.
Thank you.
If you go to your Tableau server view in a browser, there is a button labelled Share. Clicking that shows you either a URL or snippet of html you can use to share your viz. That's an easy way to get started, but you can do a lot more.
To see the other options, parameters that may be useful to you, find examples, or to learn about the Javascript API, read the Tableau Server Admin Guide section on embedding views: http://onlinehelp.tableausoftware.com/current/server/en-us/help.htm#embed.htm

Want to put a button on a sharepoint page to sign document. I don't want users to go to the library

Just downloaded the docusign app for Sharepoint online. It's on an HR publishing site and the page is for all new hire documentation. I want to put a button on the page to associate with the specific document that needs to be signed. I don't want users to have to go into the library and use the docusign tab. Is there a way to do this?
I can't quite see how this will work.
The ribbon command will have some code behind it. Presumably it uses the Docusign API so if you can find the code, you will be able to see what to do. Or review the API docs.
On your page, you would need to trigger the same code on each icon but I assume that the icon already triggers an action (e.g. downloading the file or something), so you would likely need a second icon or link to trigger the docusign action instead.
Not trivial. And I couldn't find another similar issue on Google.

Google docs : does it exist some models in HTML or other webformat to publish a spreadsheet?

I've tested the API of Google to interact with Google doc (Calendar, Spreadsheet, etc) and everything runs correctly. However, I wonder if there is a framework that implements some model in HTML or an other web format to publish/visualize a calendar or a spreadsheet within a web page. My goal is to integrate a spreadsheet/calendar into a web page and then a user can modify the values of this spreadsheet/calendar.
Does it exist something similar to my request?
For spreadsheets, the Google answer Publishing: Embedding a spreadsheet in your blog or webpage explains what you have to do. Especially the last sentence is important:
If you want to embed a form in a
website or blog, click the More
Actions button at the top of the
editor, and select the 'Embed' option
from the drop-down menu.
But don't forget all the steps listed above this.
For Google Calendar, there's Embed on your Website - Google Calendar, another answer from Google, that even contains a slideshow that shows what you have to do.
