    Hi, we’ve sometimes used the [googleapps] shortcode to embed Google Docs on our site – but upon trying to document this for our users, found that the Jetpack Shortcode page here https://jetpack.com/support/shortcode-embeds/ refers one to doing iFrame embeds for Google Docs instead of a shortcode format. The [googleapps] shortcode still seems to work, but we are wondering whether this is officially supported, and if so, where we can find documentation on it and the other shortcodes the current version of Jetpack (4.8.2) supports, and whether they are enabled by activating a Jetpack module.

    Thank you!

    The googleapps shortcode is indeed still supported, but as mentioned in the support docs, it’s probably easier to paste the iFrame code generated by Google; depending on the role of the user writing the post, that iFrame will either be automatically transformed into the shortcode when saving the post, or if the user is an admin / super admin, the iFrame will remain and will appear on the page.

    where we can find documentation on it and the other shortcodes the current version of Jetpack (4.8.2) supports, and whether they are enabled by activating a Jetpack module.

    The support document you linked to above will list all the shortcodes available in Jetpack. Those shortcodes should be available as soon as you connect Jetpack to your WordPress.com account; you can double check whether the module is active on this page:
    https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack_modules

    I hope this clarifies things a bit! Let me know if you have more questions.
