# Unsplash

Stock search does not reach Unsplash from the browser. It calls Capable's own service with the viewer's app token.

Stock results are searched from inside the library and each one carries its photographer credit.

## Limits that apply here

A stock photo can be inserted as a copy but not as a reference, so that button stays greyed out while one is selected.
