I am working on University project that would benefit from google forms automatization. I am struggling to find any information how to code that side dialog (marked in blue circle) in Google Forms editor. I would be thankful for linking with any documentation/tutorial how to model that side dialog.
The dialog is created using Google Apps Script to extend Google Forms. You can read about G-Suite Add-ons here and specifically about Forms Add-ons here. I believe the specific Add-on in your screenshot is this.

Is it possible add a custom button like 'submit for review' into google docs UI, while integrating google docs into our use case?
I see apps script allows us to create custom menus:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/menus
What I'd essentially want to do is, add a button similar to or replace the share button in google docs Ui with our own custom button.
We are developing a Google Slides add-on and we need to add some custom top-level menus. The documentation on https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/menus says:
Scripts that are published as add-ons for Google Sheets, Docs, or Forms cannot create top-level custom menus.
But when I installed the publicly available Poll Everywhere for Google Slides add-on, it added the Poll Everywhere menu as a top-level menu for all documents. How could that be possible considering the quote above?
Poll Everywhere for Google Slides is not an Apps Script add-on, it's a Chrome extension.

Apps Script vs Chrome Extension: Writing an alternative spellchecker to Google Docs
I am trying to create a branching scenario using google slides, the idea is that someone viewing the presentation can click on the buttons and see the outcome of their selections.
The first few slides it's easy, it's a 1 to 1 so I can just use the "link" feature in slides.
The tricky part is once you progress to slide 3. I want the slide they are directed to by clicking on the "course of action" options to be based on all the currently selected options.
So here is where I'm stuck - I need to figure out how to have an interaction (click) with the slide in presentation mode trigger a script.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this in Google Slides?
At this time the Slides Service for Google Apps Script and the Google Slides REST API don't include a way to call a script on a click of an element. This feature is only included on Google Sheets (Clickable images and drawings in Google Sheets)
NOTE: The Google's official documentation very rarely includes a page about missing features. It could be possible that someone already submitted a feature request through the official Issue Tracker. If so, you could star that issue to get notifications about changes on it. Another place to monitor is the G Suite Developers Blog and the Google Apps Script release notes.
As a part of project requirement I need to add a custom menu (context menu) to the google drive right click options.
As per my research google app script can help for creating a custom menu for google docs, google form and google sheet. However I haven't yet come across a way to add a custom menus for google drive.
I cannot use chrome extension as I need it to be all browser compatible.
Any ideas if it's even supported and possible.
Any help is appreciated!
Eventually I had to integrate an app with "Open With" option in Google Drive.
Apparently, context menus are not supported in Google Drive.
You cannot add custom context menus in Google Drive. The custom menus you read about in Docs, Sheets, etc are added in the menubar at the top of the editor, not into the right-click menu.
I am trying to write a simple add-on for Google Docs. It basically a list of items I want to have visible on the side when I am using Docs. I followed this simple tutorial.
I don't want to publish such a simple add-on unnecessarily. Is there a way that I could use it just within my Google Docs without publishing it ?
If you've just copied the sample code into your document's script, it already works there. To activate the script you have to reopen the document, then in the menus at the top click Custom Menu -> Show sidebar.
You only have to publish a script if you want to share your add-on with other users.
If you still have problems, take a look at Add-on Quickstart. It describes add-on creation process in details.
