Summary
Copy Mode is a shortcut tool available when viewing a document or transcript that allows users to quickly highlight and copy text, without the annotation dialogue showing which then requires manual navigation to the clipboard.
Where the guide refers to documents, Copy Mode can also be used for transcripts by selecting the same clipboard icon in the toolbar of the transcript view.
We've set out how to use Copy Mode below.
Documents will need to be text searchable (OCR'd) to allow text to be copied.
