Copy and paste images in spreadsheets

Completed
Request Demo
  • Edited

Be able to simply copy (CTR-C) and paste (CTR-V) a screenshot in spreadsheets (similar to the capability in presentations) for support backup purposes. The current way of attaching a screenshot has too many steps and you can't easily visually see the screenshot on the spreadsheet.

    Completely agree. Inserting a screenshot into a spreadsheet stored in the "Files" should be available without involving multiple steps

    I would like to request this too. What is the current way to do it? I can't find the instructions for that.

    Hi there!

    Quick update for you. Today you can copy an image from your source computer (often by right-click and choosing Copy) and then paste that image into a cell (CTRL+V). Once the image is in your Spreadsheet cell, you can similarly copy and paste that cell and the image will paste too. Does this meet your needs Joseph Pisaturo Lori Ford Amy Smith seriously? ?

    Hi KG, 

    The workflow described above (copy image from source → CTRL+V into a cell) is still possible in Workiva, and once the image is in a cell, you can copy and paste that cell to move the image with it.
     
    Things to Keep in Mind
    - Images must be in GIF or JPG format
    - Floating images (freely movable, not cell-bound) are not supported in spreadsheets — this is a known feature request
    - Right-click paste requires the Workiva Chrome Extension; without it, only CTRL+V works
     
    If this isn't working for you, I can submit a Support ticket on your behalf!
