If something goes wrong
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| “Too long for Google to hand over in one piece.” | Split it into smaller documents. |
| Every entry carries the same date. | The dates aren't at the start of their own lines. Put each date on its own line, then press Read now. |
| “This source needs you to sign in again.” | Reconnect with the same Google account. |
