How to hide the "Open with Kami" button from your Google Apps
To hide the "Open with Kami" button in your Google files, follow these steps:
In Kami, select your Profile.
Select Settings.
Scroll down to the Settings section and check the box next to the "Hide 'Open with Kami' button in Google Apps".
By changing your settings this way, you will only hide the button for your account and not student accounts on your license. If you want to hide the button for your class, take them through this process so they can turn it off individually.
To hide the button for your whole school domain, please request your school's technology admin to email us at support@kamiapp.com.
Optional: Convert files when you “Open with Kami”
Opening your Google Apps files in Kami with the "Convert non-PDF file" feature means the original file will be saved as a new version, separate from the version you'll edit in Kami. In a nutshell, the new copy acts as a backup in Google Drive that you can fall back on if you prefer it over the edited version(s).
How to turn on "Convert non-PDF file":
1. Go to your Kami Profile in the top right-hand corner.
2. Click Settings, then scroll down to the Beta Features.
3. Click + On for the Convert non-PDF file.
