Open with Kami from Google apps

What is the Open with Kami button?

The Open with Kami button (available in Google apps, such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides) lets you open your files directly in Kami with one click, creating new opportunities for creation and collaboration.

Whether you're a teacher looking to turn existing Google materials into a Kami assignment or a student looking to use Kami tools on your file, the Open with Kami button will help you to elevate any document.

Where to find the Open with Kami button

In Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets, the Open with Kami button is located in the top menu bar.

After selecting, your file will automatically load into Kami.

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:

1. In Kami, select your Profile.

2. Select Settings.

3. 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, not for student accounts on your license. If you want to hide the button for your class, walk your students through this process so they can turn it off individually.

To hide the button for your whole school domain, please request that your school's technology admin reach out to our Support Team for assistance.

Convert files when you Open with Kami

Opening your Google app files in Kami with the Convert non-PDF file feature saves the original file as a new version, separate from the version you'll edit in Kami. Therefore, the new copy essentially acts as a backup in Google Drive that you can revert to, if needed.

How to turn on "Convert non-PDF file":

1. Navigate to the Account & Settings button in the top right-hand corner of Kami.

2. Click Settings, then open the the AI + Beta Features tab.

3. Toggle the Convert non-PDF file on.
