'Copy as macro' is missing for a template
What you are seeing
'Copy as macro' is missing for a template.
#Why it happens
Copy as macro only works for documents saved in the Capable library (space or global templates). The bundled Examples ship with the app, and markdown that comes from a URL or an attachment is not saved in the library, so there is nothing for the macro to point to.
#What to do
Copy the example into a space or global template first, then use Copy as macro on that copy.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Global settings → Capabilities → Markdown | - | Hiding Markdown removes it from the Capable nav bar and the content byline menu across the site. It does not stop existing macros from rendering. |
Global settings → Permissions | - | Controls who can edit the global library, which decides who can create Global markdown templates. These permissions are shared with Diagrams, Images, Calendar and Search. |
Global settings → Migration | - | Markdown appears on the Migration tab. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Large-document scroll mode | 500,000 characters | Past this size the document macro shows '⚠️ Large content detected. Rendering in scrollable mode.' and displays the document in a scrolling box instead of inline. |
Macro title and description input length | 50 characters each | The macro settings' 'Markdown title' and 'Markdown description' fields, and the title field in the from-scratch editor, stop at 50 characters. |
