FAQ

Why can’t I use the right-click context menu paste in Firefox?

Firefox does not yet support clipboard.readText(), as mentioned in the MDN documentation. In this case, Univer can only retrieve clipboard content from native paste events, which means it can only support paste through keyboard shortcuts.

I am using Chrome, but I can’t paste using the right-click context menu?

First, make sure your browser version is 66 or higher, and then ensure that your website is accessed via HTTPS. Due to Chrome’s security policy, the clipboard API can only be used under the HTTPS protocol.

Why can’t I copy and paste?

In browsers such as Chrome and Safari that support clipboard.readText(), Univer will attempt to directly access the clipboard content. Please make sure that the user performing the operation has granted Univer browser clipboard permissions.
