Copy Google Docs into Contributor

You can copy most types of content from a Google document into Paligo's contributor editor. This includes text, headings, lists, and tables.

Use keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste:

On Windows, use Ctrl and C to copy and Ctrl and V to insert.

On Mac, use Command ⌘ and C and Command ⌘ and V.

Note

While you can copy and paste most types of content, there are some limitations. For example, mathematic and scientific notation (formulas etc.) may not work and and multi-column layouts will copy across as single columns.

When you paste the content into the Contributor Editor, you may need to change some of the formatting. For example, paragraphs may have extra spacing below them.

You can also copy and paste data from a Google spreadsheet. The data is pasted into Paligo as a new table.

When a contribution assignment is complete, Paligo authors should check the content and its structure. They can use the Paligo editor to apply the correct structure, where needed.
