Best Workarounds for the 50K Character Limit?

Hi! We are hitting it natively. We have tried the copy paste in notepad and then move over, but no dice.  Good thinking on the linking- could be the best option. I read doing a PDF download with a linked table of contents, but I would hate to go that route. 

Hey, welcome to GameChangers by the way ​@Awagner , looks like you’re new around here! :)

From an end user perspective, it’s also better to avoid cramming absolutely everything into one article as most folks probably don’t want to read an entire encyclopaedia worth of content on a single page, purely to find a single answer to one question. I know that well because I’m actually an end user myself (one of only three on here)!

Certainly for things like release notes, dedicated pages for each release means you can hype up each one!

I seem to recall ​@Julian talking about it a few years ago as part of another discussion but I haven’t found any signs of updates as to what happened after that. I’ll ask him if he knows what happened to those discussions when I next catch him.

It seems simple but just having images saved locally, then using the image tool to insert them into post has always taken care of this issue for us.

I spent almost an hour editing and working with notepad etc. trying to figure this one out as I was receiving a 100k character limit error for a 3.5k character post before landing to this thread here. Thank you for your help ​@Chris Hackett, turns out it was the images after all. :) 

This is BEYOND ANNOYING for documentation. I get it for threads or blogs BUT NOT for resources or documents. 

Thanks for flagging this, I completely understand the friction here, especially for documentation use cases. We're actively looking into the character limit behavior and want to make sure it's working as intended across different content types. I'll share more once we have a clearer picture.
