You will learn how to drop copied text into ChatGPT for help.
Copy and paste lets you put text into an ask.
Use a made-up note for practice. Do not paste passwords, codes, or private records.
For a real note, share only what is needed. Removing a name may not remove all private details.
Try this
- Select just the text you want to use, then choose Copy.
- Open ChatGPT and select the message box.
- On a phone, press and hold in the box and choose Paste.
- On a computer, press Ctrl and V, or Command and V on a Mac.
- Read the pasted text. Remove private details and add your question before you send.

Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.

Copy does not move the original. It makes a second copy you can paste.
