Merging from Google Docs
Default Settings

Settings Window

The Settings window allows you to set default configurations for merging documents in Merge Docs Pro. These settings determine how files are saved, where they are stored, and the format options for merged documents.

Export Settings

  • Google Drive Folder ID: Specify the ID of the Google Drive folder where merged documents will be saved. By default, it is set to root, which saves the files in your main Google Drive folder. You can enter a specific folder ID to direct output files to a subfolder.

  • Default Merged File Name: Set the default name for merged documents. Each merged file will use this name unless otherwise specified. For example, "Merged_Document_new" can be set to identify merged files distinctly.

Default Merge Destination

Choose the default destination for merged content:

  • Merge into current document: Combines the selected files into the document currently open.

  • Merge into a new Google Doc: Creates a new Google Document for the merged content. Additional options allow you to control the inclusion of the current document:

    • Include current document content at the beginning of new document: Adds the current document’s content at the start of the new merged document.
    • Include current document content at the end of new document: Places the current document’s content at the end of the new merged document.
    • Do not include current document content in the new document: Excludes the current document content from the merged output.

Default Merge Options

Configure default formatting and output options for merged documents:

  • Add page break before each merged document: Inserts a page break between each merged file, helping to separate documents clearly in the final output.

  • Save merged document as Word: Enables the merged output to be saved as a Word document (.docx).

  • Save merged document as PDF: Enables the merged output to be saved as a PDF file.

  • Auto download output files: Automatically downloads the merged file to your device once the merge process is complete.

  • Open output Merged Docs in a new tab: Opens the final merged document in a new tab upon completion, allowing you to review and make further edits if necessary.

Once you’ve configured the settings to your preference, click Save & Close to apply the changes. These defaults will apply to all future merges unless manually overridden during a merge session.
