Sway is now waiting for the embed code. You need to get the code from your Google Doc by going to the document’s File menu and choosing Publish to the web. Once in the Publish to the web page, you need to click the blue Publish button one time to open up the Doc. After you have clicked Publish, you can highlight the embed code and copy it to your clipboard.

You’ve embedded that Google Doc. This is live. If you were to update this in Docs, this document that’s showing here would be updated. You can also interact with this document to a certain extent with the icon lower right hand corner. You can download it or print it.
