Good to know
- info Oskuo can read and edit any Google Doc you have access to. Changes will show as made by you.
- info Oskuo cannot add images, drawings, or embedded objects to a Google Doc yet.
- info Comments and suggestions within the document are not accessible — Oskuo works with the document body text only.

- lock Your credentials are encrypted with AES-256 and stored securely. They are never visible to other team members.

Troubleshooting
Oskuo cannot find my document expand_more
Check that the document is accessible from the Google account you connected. Share the direct Google Docs URL in your conversation, or provide the exact filename so Oskuo can search your Drive.
Oskuo cannot edit the document expand_more
You need Editor access to the document, not Viewer. If the document is read-only or in suggestion mode, Oskuo cannot make changes. Disconnect and reconnect from Settings → Connectors if write permissions were not granted during setup.
