How to write CAPTION on New Connect

[Kumaarsantosh]

Hello Fellow LGs,

Welcome once again to the new and improved Connect! where we can contribute with lot of ease and high productivity in terms of time, effort and smart work. Thanks, team, for making this happen.

With all welcome changes, there comes some challenges and learnings. And, New Connect is not an exception!

I am sharing my personal experience with all of you and how have I learned to eradicate these challenges. I had faced two challenges. The second one I will be discussing in my next post and hence then please stay tuned.

The first one was related to the topic as, How to write CAPTION on New Connect?

Here is the solution:

Step1:
Open the writing text box as you do to create a new post. Upload the file using ‘upload’ tab in the text box. Select the texts (which is the file name of your uploaded file) written between ‘![’ and ‘|’ (just before the file size). Photo1 depicts the selected texts where ‘update too is impactful 3’ is the file name of uploaded file highlighted in yellow color.

Step2:
Delete the selected texts of Step 1 and replace it with the Caption you wish to write. Photo2 depicts the replaced texts as Caption as ‘This is a helping text for the uploaded picture for writing caption’ highlighted in green color.

Yes, now are done with writing the caption for your uploaded file. It’s so simple. Isn’t it!

Please do share your experience in the comment box whether it worked for you or not.

Please also reach out in case you need further clarification.

Keep building a well-informed community stronger together.

Stay Happy, Stay Healthy!

JAI HO!!!

Simple and easy-to-follow steps, dear @Kumaarsantosh
I enjoyed reading through the post

Another way that I’d also suggest using is showing the preview and editing the caption using the Pencil icon:

[Kumaarsantosh]

Thanks @MortenCopenhagen. Yes - indeed that’s the other way to do it once you click the ‘Show Preview’ button. Thanks for sharing.

[Kumaarsantosh]

Thank you @AjitThite. The idea was to make it simple and easy to understand while writing the post and do the editing in the same window.

[Kumaarsantosh]

Thanks @MohanG. Hope you will start using it.

[Kumaarsantosh]

Thank you so much @TusharSuradkar for acknowledging and sharing the alternate way to do it once you click the ‘Show Preview’ button. Thanks for sharing.
