Whitelisting of Chrome Extension for forced canvas annotation on Google Docs

[Aakash Tyagi]

Hi Team,

We are currently working on a Chrome extension named "Highlight," designed to highlight text in Google Docs. Our implementation utilises force-annotated canvas rendering with <svg/> and <g/> tags.

This functionality works only for publishers' email ids. The doc is unable to force render canvas annotations for all other public users.

• We have filled out the whitelist google form multiple times since January 2024 but we still continue to face these inconsistencies. 
• We are injecting window._docs_annotate_canvas_by_ext = extension_id in our implementation, but the issue remains unresolved.
• Followed all steps as per the documentation.

Q1. We wish to know is there any way we can track the whitelisting status for our MV3 extensions? (No response from this google form also)

Q2. If they are whitelisted, why are we facing inconsistency among users. Any insights or guidance on how to address this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Aakash, 

Did you find any resolution to this issue? We were researching a similar issue and found you thread (but the documentation referenced is no longer available). If you have any update, would love to hear it.
