Copy and paste special elements in the Tangelo editor

Usually, when you want to copy text, you can select it and use the following shortcuts:

  • Copy: CTRL / Command - C
  • Cut: CTRL / Command - X
  • Paste: CTRL / Command - V

However, sometimes you want to copy a specific component and all its included text (such as tables, highlight blocks, KPI blocks, etc.) in the Tangelo editor.

In such cases, you can follow these steps to copy and paste this element in one go:

 

  1. Go to the content you want to copy
  2. Click on the element (in this case, a table) you want to copy - see mark (1) in the screenshot below.
  3. Click the element name in the navigation path below - see mark (2). The element will turn yellow.

     
  4. Press CTRL-C on your keyboard.
  5. Go to to document and section where the content needs to be copied to.
  6. Place the cursor on the position where the content needs to be copied.
  7. First, create a new empty special element of the same kind:
  8. Place the cursor in the newly created empty element and click the element name in the navigation path below (same as step 2 above).
  9. Press CTRL-V and the special element content will be visible.
  10. After checking the content is correct, you can go back to the original content, select the element and remove it using the 'Remove' option in the navigation path:
