Copy Section Feature

Overview

The Copy Section feature in Assist 2.0 lets you quickly duplicate any section of a document's content to your clipboard. It's a fast way to reuse content across projects, keep messaging consistent, and feed specific bits of a document back into chat without sharing the whole thing.

How to Copy a Section

Step 1: Open your document

Open your workspace in Assist 2.0
Navigate to the project containing the document you want to work with
Open the document

Step 2: Locate the Copy Section button

Hover your cursor over the section you want to copy
The Copy Section icon (two overlapping pages) will appear in the section's toolbar

Step 3: Copy the section

Click the Copy Section icon
A confirmation message will appear: "Section copied to clipboard"
The entire section's content is now on your clipboard

Step 4: Paste and use the content

Navigate to where you want to use the copied content. This can be:

The chat interface in Assist 2.0 (Just Start Talking)
Another section in the same document
A different document entirely
Any external application

Paste using your standard paste command (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V). The content is ready to edit or use as-is.

Use Cases

Content Reuse

Quickly duplicate sections you need to reference or adapt in multiple places within a project.

Consistency

Maintain consistent formatting and messaging by copying proven sections rather than recreating them from scratch.

Working with chat

Paste a specific section straight into the chat to ask the agent to rewrite, summarise, translate, or expand it — without having to share or reference the whole document.

Template Creation

Build reusable templates by copying well-structured sections and adapting them for new purposes.

Tips and Best Practices

Quick Access: The Copy Section button only appears on hover, keeping the interface clean
Perfect Duplication: Content is copied exactly as it appears, preserving formatting
Clipboard Integration: Works with your system clipboard, so you can paste anywhere
Chat Integration: Pasting a section into chat is the fastest way to ask the agent to act on just that part of a document

Troubleshooting

Copy Section button not appearing

Make sure you're hovering directly over the section content
Check that you have edit permissions for the document
Refresh the page if the interface seems unresponsive

Content not pasting correctly

Verify the content was copied successfully (look for the confirmation message)
Try copying the section again
Check that the destination supports the content format
