Copy Sections Button

Overview

Copy individual sections from your Assist documents to your clipboard with one click. All formatting, structure, and styling are preserved automatically and copied as Markdown.




What Gets Copied

Each copy includes:


  • Complete section content
  • All markdown formatting (bold, italic, code blocks, etc.)
  • Headers and subheaders
  • Lists (ordered and unordered)
  • Links and references
  • Document structure and hierarchy

Content is immediately available on your clipboard.




How to Copy a Section

  1. Open your document
  2. Find the section you need
  3. Click the Copy Sections button near the section header
  4. Paste the content (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V) into your destination

Note: Each section has its own copy button for quick access.

Tips and Best Practices

Verify Formatting — Check that formatting displays correctly in your destination. Some platforms handle markdown differently.


Choose Relevant Sections — Copy only what your audience needs rather than entire documents.


Provide Context — Ensure sections can be understood independently when shared.


Track Versions — Note which document versions you're using when building reports from multiple sections.




Troubleshooting
