Now, when you paste text and images into a rich text field, all your images will automatically be imported.

Pasting images into rich text fields now just works

<p>If you’re like the content team here, you probably spend a lot of time writing stuff in Google Docs and other online writing tools. Point being: you’re not <em>starting</em> in the Editor or CMS in the content creation phase — putting content there is merely the final step. </p><p>That’s all good and fine — but, if you’re like us, you’ve also likely noticed that when you go to <em>paste</em> your content and images into a rich text field, your images don’t transfer over. Which means uploading images one-by-one after you paste content. Not fun.</p><p>But really great, amazing* news here: that’s no longer the case. Now your text <em>and</em> images will automatically be pulled in when you paste from an external doc into a rich text field.</p><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="center"><div><img src="<https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64f9399ca7d13575ff21a675/64f9399ca7d13575ff21c575_vo7-upK54FtYsE93diNhGa6vk0mVu7EVssbz8ubJyysCwEpYD3XgemsvCHs46ppOJgVZ6kvsqWZhxTgulwkMznhskUoLZ3mCvpFdswbjWn26H2p3utN2L-2CFc-CGZHcSFvNl8-J.gif>" alt="Text and images being pasted into the Editor from a Google doc."></div><figcaption>Paste those images. Paste those GIFs. Be like Antonio Banderas.</figcaption></figure><p>‍<strong>Note:</strong> Images are automatically imported on paste in the Editor and Designer post <em>detail</em> view, but not when in the Editor <em>on the live site</em> (yet!). </p><p>*This reaction is in no way biased by the fact that the author is personally going to save hours as a result of this change.<br></p>
