**Errors and limitations**

- `connection_required`: This capability acts on your own Google Drive, which isn't connected yet.Open connect_url, approve Google Drive read and write access, then retry this run unchanged.
- `invalid_input`: Google Docs rejected one or more update requests or the revision precondition.Read the document first, use its current indexes and revision id, then submit a bounded batchUpdate request.
