Before you start
Text snippets are not available on the Basic plan. Upgrade your plan to take advantage of 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 the web and in the app.
