Is it possible to import a chart from google drive? I created it with a google doc using Drawings and the download options are below. Do I need to create it in google sheets? Do I have to start over on Lucid Charts?

Hi @DrewsCharts 

Lucidchart currently doesn't support direct import of Google Docs Drawings.

The other options are listed below for your reference.

You can export your Google Drawing as an image file (PNG, JPEG) or PDF from Google Drive and import it into Lucidchart,

using it as a reference or background. Note that individual elements won't be editable.

For full editability, recreate your chart in Lucidchart, leveraging its robust diagramming tools and templates to streamline the process.

Additionally, Lucidchart offers data linking features that connect to Google Sheets for specific diagram types, although direct import from Google Sheets isn't available
