With the new copy-paster templates you can quickly copy search results, pages and annotations to the clipboard in a custom format.
This allows you to quickly paste them into your own workflows and apps.

How to use this feature:
- Create a template by clicking on the "copy/paste" icon that you find above the search results, in the annotation sidebar on the top right, or on each page or note card.
- You can use several placeholders for the data about a page or note. See examples and syntax below.
- After saving a template you can click on its name to copy the content of your template into the clipboard
