Create or link a document

Create a document

1. In "Documents", choose "New document".
2. Pick "Google Docs" or "Microsoft Word".
3. Enter a "Document name" and choose "Create". A blank name becomes the project name followed by "Draft".

New files go into a "Mosaic" folder in your Drive or OneDrive, organized by workspace and project. Choose which app new documents open in under Settings, General, "New documents open in".

Link an existing document

1. Choose "Link existing".
2. For a Google Doc, choose "Choose from Google Drive" and pick the Doc in Google Drive. It is linked as soon as you pick it.
3. For a Word document, choose "Choose from OneDrive". It starts in "My files": folders first, then Word documents newest first. Open a folder to look inside it, use the path above the list to go back, and type in "Filter this folder" to narrow what you see. Choose a document and it is linked at once.
4. Or paste a document's address into "Document link" and choose "Link document".

Google lets Mosaic open a Google Doc only if Mosaic created it or you chose it in Google Drive, so pick a Doc made outside Mosaic with "Choose from Google Drive". If you paste the address of one instead, Mosaic says "Google lets Mosaic open this Doc only after you choose it in Google Drive." and offers "Choose in Google Drive", which opens Google Drive on that Doc. "Choose from Google Drive" appears once Google Docs is connected.

"Choose from OneDrive" shows the OneDrive you connected. Documents other people shared with you are not listed there. "Choose from OneDrive" appears once Word is connected.
