# How to add the Google Docs app from the Pickcel app store?

> Learn how to display a Google Docs document on your digital signage screens

This guide shows you how to display a Google Docs document on your digital signage screens.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Search for the Google Slides app">
    Log in to your [Pickcel account](https://console.pickcel.com/). Go to the **Apps** module and search for **Google**.

    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Pickcel uses one app, labeled **Google Slides**, to embed Google Slides, Sheets, and Docs alike, since all three publish to the web the same way. Search for **Google Slides** even though you're embedding a document.
    </Note>

    Click the **Google Slides** app card, then click **Create App** in the app details panel.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish your Google Doc to the web">
    The app needs a published, embeddable link, not just a shareable link.

    Open the Google Docs document you want to display, then go to **File → Share → Publish to web**.
