Embed a Google Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation or Form in a site, and as changes are made to the original, the site will reflect the changes:

  1. Click the Edit page icon, which looks like a pencil icon, to open the page editor
  2. Place the cursor where you'd like to insert the object
  3. From the Insert menu, select the object you'd like to insert
  4. Share the Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide with the same audience you share your site with
