Anyone that needs to hide away sections of text in Google Documents should give this handy add-on a try.
When whole documents are sensitive, I tend to not write them in Google Docs, but rather a locally installed tool that makes it possible to encrypt a document.
With a handy add-on, called DocSecrets, you can tuck portions of a Google Document away behind a password.
Even with those two minor caveats, this is a must-have add-on for anyone needing to encrypt portions of a Google Document that is to be shared with others.
If you already have your document completed, you can select the text you want to hide and then click Censor text at the bottom of the DocSecrets pane.
To reveal the hidden text, they must start the DocSecrets add-on and then type the password used to encrypt the text.
