FAQ

What is the difference between a Rich Text Field and a plain text field?

1. A plain text field is mainly used for unformatted text input.
2. A Rich Text Field supports text styles such as bold and italic, and it can also include links, images, and lists.
3. If your content needs structure or visible formatting, a Rich Text Field is the better choice.

How should images in a Rich Text Field be managed?

1. Images inserted in the rich text editor are embedded in the current cell content.
2. This setup is not ideal for centralized bulk export of image assets.
3. If you need centralized image management, use the Picture and Attachment field instead.

Will rich text formatting stay after export?

1. When exported to Excel or CSV, the Rich Text Field keeps the plain text content.
2. Formatting such as bold text, color, and links does not stay in the exported file in the same presentation.
3. If layout matters, confirm the target use case before exporting.
