Workflow: Copy context with media (Pro)

Copy with media is for the cases where the "why" lives in the visuals:

Instead of pasting a bunch of separate images (and hoping you did not miss one), Smart Context compiles the relevant visuals into a single image and puts it on your clipboard alongside the text context.

The recording above shows the full loop end-to-end.

1) Prepare the note (make the media reachable)

Put the media you want the model to see inside your context graph:

Practical pattern: add an "Attachments" section near the top of your note and put the key images/PDFs there, so you can quickly sanity-check what will be included.

2) Copy with media

  1. Open the Smart Context clipboard flow (current note, selected notes, or folder).
  2. In the Copy to clipboard modal, choose a link depth.
    • Use the item count + size estimate to pick the smallest depth that still includes the visuals you need.
  3. Click Copy with media (Pro).

You should see a confirmation like:

That file count is a quick sanity check that your attachments were picked up (note(s) + linked/embedded media).

3) Paste into your chat (text + image together)

  1. Go to your chat tool (Smart Chat, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.).
  2. Click into the message box.
  3. Paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V).

What you should see:

Send the message like you normally would.

What "compiled media" means

When you choose Copy with media, Smart Context creates a single collage-style image that contains:

The compiled image is labeled with source filenames (and PDF page numbers) so the visuals stay attributable and easy to reference in follow-up prompts.
