How can I get the + icon to appear?

When I’m working inside a large amount of text that I’ve pasted into the Editor, there are times where I can’t get the + icon to appear. What causes this?

Also, is it possible to upload short video clips to this forum?

I wonder if that text has maybe come in as a markdown card or something? If you hit enter a few times, does that cause it to appear, or just extra space?

I expect the text you’ve copy/pasted has newline characters between blocks of text rather than having separate paragraphs. The plus icon will only show up on an empty paragraph. If you find you aren’t seeing the plus button when you expect to see it you will need to delete the newlines then use Enter to split the text into proper paragraphs.

I cut the text, pasted it into TextEdit on my Mac, then copied and pasted it back over, a few paragraphs at a time. This seemed to fix the problem. Thank you.
