All formatting will be automatically removed from the text when you paste into PpcSoft iKnow.

Paste images into PpcSoft iKnow
If you paste an image into PpcSoft iKnow, it will be copied to a subfolder 'images' and a hyperlink will be created.

If you try to paste the same image into several notes, only one copy will be stored.

If you only want a link to an existing image, drag-and-drop the file to iKnow to automatically create a link to the image without saving a copy to the iKnow subfolder (or simply create the hyperlink manually).

Paste files into PpcSoft iKnow
If you copy a file in explorer and paste it into PpcSoft iKnow, a copy will be stored in a 'files' subfolder and a hyperlink to the copied file will be created.

If you don't want a copy of the file, but only a link to the file, you can hold Shift while clicking the Paste button (or Shift+Ctrl+V to only paste a link to the file). You may also drag-and-drop the file into PpcSoft iKnow to create a link only.

Copying a file to the 'files' subfolder can be useful for synchronizing both the iKnow data and its related files.
