If you close the Preview, however, the text is still there, so at least it is not getting lost. If one Previews a story, right after pasting what seems like any text with multiple paragraphs from a Google Doc, then the text doesn't show up in the Preview. There are certain combinations, however, where text is still disappearing, and there are some minor oddities in the user experience for Previewing. It appears that it is behaving better in some cases, in that pasted content is no longer un-retrievably disappearing all the time. I'm marking this as In product plan, because our goal is to get this issue addressed in some form in the late summer/early fall, ideally before or right around when students come back to school for the next academic out some of the content that originally brought the issue to light. And currently, for authors who are aware, there are workarounds to manually paste/import text without formatting that address this issue. That said, we also realize there are certain sites authors are more likely to be copying text from, so the best option may be to prioritize the experience from those sites at the expense of the others. However, we're hesitant to downgrade the experience authors are getting from copying text from pages/apps that use properly formatted HTML (such as Wikipedia, W3Schools, and many others) because of other sites that don't follow conventions. Regarding your suggestion to strip formatting in all cases, that is something we are considering. So we have to take time to research and weigh the options available to us, and that is what we are currently doing. Unfortunately, as discussed on the other thread, there's no easy or consequence-free solution on our side because of the external constraints present in this situation. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. We do understand this is a confusing issue that is impacting students and others who use Google Docs, and we are committed to addressing it. ![]()
