How do we copy links now?

[CherylsArt]

So I saw that there is a curved arrow next to the product on the product page. Once you click on that, there is an option to copy link. When I clicked on that, it said it copied to clipboard. What clipboard? Where? How do I locate it. 

And then, will it give me the option of large or small image?

Give us details please on these new changes so that your designers will know how to navigate this new method.

The "clipboard" is the thing you use to copy and paste text. It's not really a program or application or anything, but instead a short-term storage for copied text. If you copy some text then it's in your clipboard, then you can paste it somewhere else.

If that's confusing then ignore the "clipboard" concept and just know that you've copied the text, and can now paste the text elsewhere.

Can we please have the HTML codes returned to the share mode in the product's public view? Thanks!

I agree, that was the easiest way to promote products here and personal sites.

Can we also copy/paste images using the clipboard (I had no idea this existed, how do I access it?).  Thanks in advance.

Above, you'll see I copied the image in your avatar and pasted it. I used my preferred method, which was to right-click your image, select Copy from the small menu that appeared, then I used Control+V to paste it into this post. (You can also right-click where you want the copied image and choose Paste from the little menu that appears.)

Thanks Barbara!  Do you know if this works with images when we are creating a design and want to replicate a certain image from our MyFiles images?  I'm just trying it now and the little menu that comes down does not have Copy as an option.  Thanks again 🙂

My apologies - brain fog - you just click on the image again to reinsert it a second time (!?).

[Barbara]

Kristin, whether or not an image can be copied is controlled by the programmers. Hence, you may not see the option.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but if you've inserted an image in the design tool, just highlight the image in the Layers list, press Control+C to copy it, then Control+V to insert it to get a copy of it. If you want to insert the image on another side of the product, first go to that side before pressing Control+V. Copy and paste are included in the design tool. I can't remember exactly where it is, but it's in one of the menus. I use the Control+C or V shortcuts because they're a lot faster.

You can click the same image again to get a second instance of it, but if you've edited the size or perhaps added a filter of the first instance and want an exact copy, you won't get it. You'll get the original version.

Oh yes, this works for me now.  I think I was just looking for a short cut to replicate images in my designs.  Thank you so much!  As a point of interest, if the image is locked it won't copy, so one needs to unlock it first. I'll remember about the original version  🙂

[Barbara]

If it's your image on Zazzle, it's the original that you're placing on your product, or as close as can be to what you uploaded, so there's no need to unlock anything. You don't want to use what's essentially a representation of your image--what you see in My Images. When you click on it, the program reaches into what's behind that representation.

Thanks to DancingPelican who provided this info in another thread:

On the 'products' page in your store, you can select the "share" option on the lower right of any product and all the social media options are there (including all the regular HTML and BBCodes, etc.)

Thanks Scott. That worked.
