Issues copy pasting into the SEQTA Editor

Copy/Paste of images and objects into text fields

Some areas of SEQTA, such as Notices, Lesson Outlines, Direct messages and emails use a basic editor which does not have full support for images and some resources (hence they do not show as available options under the 'Insert' drop down). While in most cases, pasting images etc. directly into the editor will work, they may also result in slowness, loading or display issues as they aren't fully supported.

Always use the INSERT dropdown on the menu to insert images into the editor. If the menu does not have support to allow the pasting of images this indicates the field does not have the required support. However, there may be other options available such as for Lesson Outline which has a 'Add resource' button and Direct messages (excluding Correspondence) has an 'Add file button'.
