Paste text into course content

Click a text section in the visual course editor, then paste your text. The editor
uses the clipboard's plain-text version, keeping words and line breaks rather than
the fonts, colours, images, links, or styles from the source document.

Markdown symbols and HTML tags pasted as text stay literal text. Use the editor
toolbar when you want to apply formatting intentionally. Visible web addresses may
still become clickable in the rendered preview.

If you selected text, the pasted text replaces that selection. You can undo the
paste normally. Pasting an image or content without a plain-text version does not
replace your selection; copy its text instead.

Existing saved content outside the pasted selection retains its formatting.
Use the visual editor's toolbar to edit headings, quotes, lists, inline code,
bold, italic, strikethrough, links, and tables. Existing supported formatted
content opens directly in the visual editor; you do not need to edit source code.

This applies to text sections in the visual course content editor, not the
learner's document canvas. Save your changes and select Test to check the course
before submitting an update for review.

Add text learners can copy

Open a Chat section in the visual editor, place the cursor in a paragraph, and
choose Text style → Copyable text. Type or paste the text into the block and
optionally enter a Copy card label. You can reopen the block to edit its label
or text. In the learner preview, the card's Copy button copies the text to the
clipboard. This does not require the course assistant or AI balance.
