How to Copy & Paste Objects (Ploud6)

In Ploud you can copy and paste objects such as pages, cover pages and events and much more. By using the copy and paste buttons that are displayed at the bottom of a folder contents view.

Note: when copy and pasting on to a page such as from word there is a text limit of 512kb. if you exceed this limit you will get an error as shown in the image below. One solution to this is to break up the content you are pasting into several pages. The better solution to putting large amounts of information is to simply create a document in .DOC or .PDF and upload the file. You can upload a file by using Add-New -->File or by using the bulk method.

The error you will see if you exceed the paste limit.
