Grackle Workspace for Google Docs

Grackle Workspace is an accessibility tool available as an add-on for Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides.

Grackle Workspace uses automated checks, guided fixes, and easy conversions to review all aspects of your document to advise you on how to best meet accessibility compliance.

  2. From the menu, select Extensions > Grackle Doc, Sheets, or Slides (depending on what document you’re in) > Launch.
  3. If prompted, select Allow or Continue in the permissions window.
