Why doesn't right-clicking work on Google Docs?
Last updated: October 19, 2026
Right-click scanning does not work in Google Docs. The extension turns that menu off on docs.google.com.
Scan from the GPTZero menu inside the document instead. It has three actions:
Scan for AI, or Scan Selection for AI when text is selected.
Fact Check.
Watch Writing Report.
Watch Writing Report needs edit access to the document. If you only have view access, the menu says Request edit access. If the Google Docs header is collapsed, it says Expand Google Docs top menu. If the document has no edits yet, it says Please make an edit to view writing report.
