Reference finder is deprecated due to a policy change by Google resulting in issues with Google Drive access. We don't have a timeline for resolution.
It's a link to an Onshape document like https://cad.onshape.com/documents/6eb1d47ad2b5b4b375c60fae/w/ea628258f7d101b3908e2cdb/e/46f26314ed97b202b6e45902
It searches for the Onshape document ID using the external service's search API and reports back the results with some nice formatting. That's it!
More platforms will be added in the future. Info about submitting requests for more platforms is available on the home page.
Get it for free on the Onshape App Store: https://appstore.onshape.com/apps/Utilities/WXAYLRR4VZ6D37JNW77RZE6JQ4UOJZ46PBMQ7BQ=/description

DO NOT CONTACT ONSHAPE SUPPORT FOR HELP WITH THIS APPLICATION!
It's not an official Onshape feature, rather it's an extension in the App Store. For any help requests, please email contact@referencefinder.net.
Confluence and Jira require you to put the document ID by itself like 6eb1d47ad2b5b4b375c60fae. Their search APIs don't find subsections of URLs.
Google Drive needs links to be pasted right in the text. Having a link like this won't work.
Slack needs an admin to add the app to your Slack workspace before regular members can add it.
Trello sometimes takes a few minutes for results to be indexed. If you don't see a reference showing up, wait 5 minutes before emailing me.
Opening the application shows: "403. That's an error" - it's possible that you are signed in with a Google Visitor Session. Try opening a new tab of https://google.com and signing out there, then signing in with a Google Account.
For any questions, comments, feedback, or ideas, you can email contact@referencefinder.net.
