[Announcement] Insert image from URL changes in Zoho Writer


Hi Zoho Writer users!


We'd like to let you know that we've changed the behavior of the Insert image from URL option in Zoho Writer for security reasons.

    

Earlier behavior


Once you inserted an image URL in a Writer document, the image would be fetched from the image's server every time it needed to be displayed in the document.


New behavior


Once you insert an image URL, the image will be fetched and stored in our database, and then displayed in the document.


The new behavior has been implemented due to security concerns and size restrictions. Image URLs already inserted in your documents before 5th June 2024 will not be affected.


If you have any questions or need any assistance please write to us at support@zohowriter.com or support@eu.zohowriter.com.


Regards,

Team Writer
