I use and love the desktop version. However, about 20 times per day I want to share a hyperlink to something in Slack. And here's what I have to do:

1. Open a new browser window.
2. Go to workflowy.com.
3. Search and find the thing I want to link to.
4. Zoom into it.
5. Grab the URL from the browser's address bar.
6. Paste it into Slack, email, whatever.

Crazy, right? Totally nuts.

A "Copy URL" function in the three-dot menu would probably be the most graceful and easy fix, but there are obviously many others. It could be in the desktop menuing system, whatever. But point is: there should be some way to get at the URL in the desktop version. (BTW, the three-dot menu is broken/hidden, so we'd also need that fixed. But I posted that as a separate bug report.)

Best,

Chris

  The three-dot menu would be better in my opinion because mobile needs this too.
