Reuse Text with Text Snippet Reference Premium

A Text Snippet Reference inserts the Template of another Text Snippet.

Save a shared Template, such as a sign-off, once, and refer to it from other Templates. When you change the shared Template, every Template that refers to it changes too.

Add a Reference

1. Open the Text Snippet.
2. Tap in the Template where the other Template should go.
3. Tap Reference in the row of Placeholder buttons.
4. Type at least 2 characters of the other Text Snippet's Keyword.
5. Choose it.
6. Tap Insert.
7. Tap Save (Save).

Example

,sign holds Thanks again, The order team. The Template for ,late ends with a Reference to it:

Which Template is used

If the referenced Text Snippet has multiple Templates, its Replacement Behavior decides which one is inserted. With Manual or First, it is always the first Template. With Random, it can change each time. With Sequential, it moves to the next Template. A Reference never asks you to choose.

Keep References working

• If you change the Keyword of a referenced Text Snippet, every Reference to it updates when you save.
• If you delete a referenced Text Snippet, the Reference stays in the Template and is inserted as plain text. The Text Snippet Editor crosses out the Reference and shows Missing Text Snippet, and the Text Snippet's card shows a warning icon. Remove the Reference, or point it to another Text Snippet.
• References can't go in a circle, such as ,a referring to ,b and ,b referring back to ,a. Typing Hero won't save a loop like that.
