   2. Create a new post or page, or edit an existing one.
      
   3. Switch to the “Text” or “HTML” mode (not the visual editor) in the editor mode.
      
   4. Paste the Google Docs link you copied earlier.
   5. WordPress will automatically convert the link into an embedded Google Doc.
4. Adjust the Embed Settings (Optional)-
   1. If you wish to customise the appearance or behavior of the embedded Google Doc, you can do so by adding parameters to the URL.
      For example, you can add &embedded=true to the end of the URL to ensure that the document is embedded in the page rather than displayed in a new tab.
   2. You can also add &headers=false to hide the document’s title and header.
5. Preview and Publish-
   1. Switch back to the “Visual” editor to see a preview of the embedded Google Doc.
   2. If everything looks good, you can publish or update your post or page.
6. Test the Embedded Google Doc-
   1. View the published post or page to make sure the embedded Google Doc is working as expected.
   2. You should be able to view and interact with the document directly on your WordPress site.
