Copy Links From the Desktop App

Since we launched the Desktop App last year, one noticeably absent feature was the ability to get the URL for any bullet. While you can do this from the address bar when using WorkFlowy in the browser, there is no such address bar in desktop.

In my recent announcement of Deep Links we were greeted by renewed enthusiasm to let folks retrieve links from the desktop app (and then presumably later open them back up in the desktop app to complete the virtuous circle).

Therefore it is my pleasure to announce that a ‘Copy link’ menu item is now available from the hover menu for any bullet. You can also access it from the ‘…’ menu of the item you have focused. Clicking this menu option puts the URL for that item into your Clipboard where you can cmd/ctrl-v to paste it wherever your heart desires.

We plan on adding a keyboard shortcut in the near future. If you have a good suggestion for what that should be, please drop us a line in the comments.

A mobile version of this feature is in the works. Stay Tuned!

PS – Did you know that if you have a monthly subscription for WorkFlowy Pro, you can save almost 20% by switching to a yearly subscription? Email us at help@workflowy to make it happen!
