How-to Guide
1. Copy Text
Entry point: Edit mode → Long-press to select text → Copy
- Open the document and enter edit mode.
- Long-press the text you want to copy.
- Drag the selection handles on both sides to adjust the selected range.
- Tap Copy on the floating toolbar.
- Move to the target location if you plan to paste the text next.
Success Criteria
- UI state: The selected text has been copied, and the original text remains in place.
- Next actions: You can paste the content in the current document or another app.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: If you do not enter edit mode first, a full editing toolbar may not appear after a long press.
- Environment limits: After cross-app copying, clipboard content may still be affected by system behavior or source-app restrictions.
2. Paste Text
Entry point: Edit mode → Tap the target location → Paste
- Open the target document and enter edit mode.
- Tap where you want to insert the content so the cursor appears there.
- Tap Paste on the floating toolbar near the cursor.
- Check whether the inserted content appears in the expected place and format.
Success Criteria
- UI state: Clipboard content is inserted at the current cursor position.
- Next actions: You can continue editing, adjust formatting, or copy more content.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: If the cursor is not placed first, pasted content may appear in the wrong location.
- Environment limits: On some Android devices, the paste option may also appear after a long press in the input area.
3. Cut Text
Entry point: Edit mode → Long-press to select text → Cut
- Open the document and enter edit mode.
- Long-press and select the text you want to move.
- Tap Cut on the floating toolbar.
- Tap the new target location.
- Tap Paste to move the content there.
Success Criteria

- No side effects: The cut content remains on the clipboard until it is replaced by newly copied or cut content.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: Cutting before confirming the full selection range may remove too much or too little text.
- Environment limits: If the clipboard is overwritten by new content, you need to cut or copy the text again.
