Copy/Paste Images in CMS: Manual Uploads vs Convenience

·

Offtopic: Is there a way to copy/paste images into CMS content field? Or is this only possible with adding the image element and uploading them manually? Pretty annoying when using Tools to create blog posts and I have to do that many steps manually ....

Andy B. ah yeah feel your pain here big time - I copy whatever I can into it and it'll create a broken image and then you have to replace with the actual image. The reason for this is that the file you are copying/pasting it hosted somewhere else (or on your computer) but Webflow needs it uploaded so they can store it. I agree this could be improved - doubt it will anytime soon though.

Matt J. Meh, sad it cant just use the pasting as a source and save it in the media library on paste 😄 But that makes auto-blogging way harder 😄 Another topic: Do you know if it is possible to change the primary locale somehow without losing the translations?
