When editing a document stored in Alfresco where Google integration has been configured, a user can't use the Edit in Google Docs action but current…

The described behavior is the direct result of setting the googledocs.enabled property to false in the alfresco-global.properties file. When this property is set to false, the Google Docs integration is disabled for initiating new editing sessions, which removes the "Edit in Google Docs" action from the user interface. However, to prevent data loss and allow users to complete their work, the system permits any documents that were already checked out for editing in Google Docs to be finalized. This is why the "Resume editing in Google Docs" action remains available for those specific documents, enabling users to save their changes back to Alfresco.

A. If googledocs.enabled were true, the "Edit in Google Docs" action would be available for all applicable documents, which contradicts the scenario.

B. The installation method, whether using the setup wizard or a manual process, does not determine the runtime behavior of a configured feature.

D. Deploying the integration via an Alfresco Module Package (AMP) is a standard method but does not control this specific on/off functionality.

1. Alfresco Content Services 7.0 Documentation, Configuring Google Docs Integration, Section: Google Docs Integration properties. The documentation explicitly states for the googledocs.enabled property: "When set to false, this disables the Google Docs integration. The Edit in Google Docs action will not be available. Any documents that are currently being edited in Google Docs will still be available to be checked in."

2. Alfresco Content Services 6.2 Documentation, Administering > Administering integrations > Configuring Google Docs Integration, Section: Google Docs properties. This older version of the documentation confirms the same behavior: "googledocs.enabled=false - Disables the Google Docs integration. The Edit in Google Docs action will not be available. Any documents that are currently being edited in Google Docs will still be available to be checked in."
