# Signing In

How to sign in to the Drivepoint Add-In: Google SSO on Excel Web, manual email login on Desktop, and fixes for common sign-in issues.

### Excel Web Version

Many of our customers have opted into using the Google SSO option to sign up to Drivepoint. You can use it or the manual email login to sign into Drivepoint. 

### Desktop

Google SSO unfortunately does not work on the Desktop version. You will have to manually sign in.

<summary><strong>Help?! I don't think I have a manual sign-in option?</strong></summary>

To use your Google email and password, navigate to the Drivepoint Web-App. Click Alt / Option and click on your icon on the top right. You can see an option to link your Google account. Once successfully linked you can sign into Drivepoint on Desktop manually but with your Google Email + Google Password.&#x20;

<summary>Help?! I need to re-add the Add-In every single time?</summary>

We sometimes observe this is the case when you are not signed in properly with your Excel account or if your company does not have a Microsoft Excel 365 license. [Reach out](/help-1/contact-us.md) to our team with any questions in terms of which email address we should add to your Drivepoint account so that you don't have to re-add the Drivepoint Add-in every time.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.drivepoint.io/navigating-the-excel-add-in/core-functions-of-the-drivepoint-add-in/signing-in.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
