Before you start
Text snippets are not available on Basic. Upgrade your plan to take advantage this feature.
To use Text Snippets you need to have the Admin or Manager role. If you don't have that role, ask an Admin on your company's account for permission; here's what they'll need.
You can create Snippets from a photo Description or a Report. We've broken down both ways on both web and in app.
