Default zoom for Google Workspace

It works, doing exactly what it says. Win! To level up, I feel like it could provide more value by allowing a custom option to zoom to a manually typed default. I feel like it could be possible, especially because Google Docs allows folks to type a custom value, like 175% into the zoom field. If the extension did that too, four would turn into a five-star review.

Hello! I actually have made another extension (link below) that allows for custom inputs. Please have a look at that and revise your rating if you see fit! https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/google-workspace-zoom-def/mdgikencgfhineaememjagpkiclbdkka I wrote about why there's two extensions on my blog if it interests you. https://words.byvernacchia.com/blog/2023/06/google-workspace-zoom-default-extended/

It works really well.

It just works!

can't fathom multi billon dollar company not shipping such a trivial feature that we have to rely on third party extension. Thanks regardless!

A long awaited functionality which makes google sheets twice more effective. (Could have been fixed by google remembering the last set zoom level for each document but...) Thank you!

OMG Thank you! I was so tired that Google Docs can't remember the zoom level I select every time in every document. All defaults are with text that is so small to read, no wonder everyone is getting blind. The extension just works!

What can I say? Having this extension is like a little quality-of-life upgrade. It’s not like winning the lottery or anything wild like that, but more like one of those nice, everyday dreams where life just gets a little bit sweeter. Thanks for taking the time to create this – it’s made my day!

Thank you, this is badly needed functionality and works great.

works great but you should make it so you can input a custom zoom.

I initially thought that the extension did not work because there was not pop up or any other indication of where to set the zoom level. I finally discovered that instead of going into manage extension from the 3 dots to the right of the extension, I had to click on the extension title to access the options to select my Zoom level. It now works well.

I'm glad you got it working!
