Editor Add-Ons (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Editor Add-Ons are applications that extend the editing capabilities of Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Control of this is managed by a checkmark setting in the Drive and Docs service of the Admin console. Once this setting is disabled users will not be able to install any Add-Ons and instead have to be installed by a domain administrator. Editor Add-Ons can exist in the Add-Ons store and/or G Suite Marketplace.
