We are pleased to announce some improvements to the Meraki Community’s rich text editor that should make your posting experience just a bit smoother:   Drag-n-drop / Copy-paste images Image toolbar Improved editor toolbar   Update #1: Drag-n-drop / Copy-paste images You can now drag images into the editor or even paste them directly!   Dragging an image into the editor     Pasting an image into the editor     Update #2: Image toolbar  Once you’ve added an image to the editor, you can now adjust it easily with the new image toolbar. This allows you to align your image left, center, or right and also resize it.   New image toolbar     Update #3: Improved editor toolbar The editor has a newly streamlined toolbar; if you want more advanced controls, you can click the "..." icon for additional items. Emoji menu item! Most exciting about this new toolbar for me, personally, is the enhanced emoji menu item: Emoji menu available from the toolbar   No longer do you have to use clever keyboard commands to get the perfect emoji for your post (as I documented, a while back, here) — just click the little smiley face! 👍   Expanded formatting controls Using the expanded view of the toolbar (available by clicking the “...” menu item), you can now add / edit tables and set text alignment.    Expand the toolbar     Expanded view     Code formatting options If you have code you'd like to share with the community, it will now be formatted nicely when you use the "Insert code sample" feature on the editor. Just click the "</>" icon, paste in your code, and select the language you are using.   Selecting the language of a code sample   We hope you find these updates useful; please let us know your thoughts in the comments! ...

Sometimes your content remains in the "HTML" and "Preview" tabs of the editor, and sometimes it vanishes completely.   We are looking into this and hope to have a fix very soon. In the meantime... please avoid adding images to your content! ... View more
