Using the Spoiler when posting to the community

[BalOates]

Hi - I am new to the community and only just getting used to it. I have being doing some practice exercises and would like to post my solutions using the Spoiler Tag that I have seen on other posts. It is very easy to insert the actual Spoiler Tag, but I don't know how to actually "copy" the solution from Designer. I have tried to highlight and select my workflow in Designer, and then "Copy", but it doesn't get saved into my clipboard to then paste into my community reply post. 

I'm clearly (not) doing something very silly on such a basic thing!

Thanks,

People usually use the spoiler to hide a screenshot of their workflow. The actual workflow yxmd file is attached below.

Adding the information about using the "Spoiler" tag here too in case folks are searching Community for how to do it. 

After you click Reply on the Weekly Challenge you have solved:

There is a special "Spoiler Tag" icon in the WYSIWYG toolbar, click on that and a Spoiler tag section will be added. Then paste the copied screen shot of your workflow / results inside of that. To upload the actual exported workflow (if you export a yxzp from Designer it will include everything required to run the workflow), click below/outside of the Spoiler area and Browse files to attach to select your workflow file.  Click Reply to submit your solution for review.

When I try to paste a screen shot into a spoiler when submitting a completed workflow, it does not paste the screen shot. And if I click on 'preview', I get an error message that reads, "We've detected html that is not allowed and have modified your post. Please submit your post again." I am using the Snipping Tool to capture the screen shot of my work, what am I missing? What specific steps do I need to take to capture a screen shot and paste it into Spoiler?

@noelo this has been a known issue for a while. The workaround is to click on insert photos above the message window
 

You can then paste your screenshots into here, and add them to your replies.

Hope that helps,

Ollie

Thank you Ollie! I was coming here to reply again but you beat me to it. I think you may actually need to save the screenshot and then use the Insert Photos to upload the screenshot file. That's what I've been doing and it works great.

@OllieClarke Thank you very much!

@TonyaS Thank you! I did have to save the snip before I could select it to upload.

@TonyaS 

pasting the screengrab into the image window always works for me

Drag and drop the saved snapshot on the spoiler space. Works for me.
