# Use text snippets

Save reusable text blocks and insert them as static text or placeholders in episodes.

Use this task to reuse the same text, such as a sponsor paragraph, in many episodes. A text snippet belongs to a podcast. You insert it as plain text, or as a placeholder that Podigee replaces in every episode and updates when you change the snippet.

## Before you start

* You are the podcast owner, or you have permission to create and edit episodes in the podcast.
* Text snippets are available on every current plan (Launch, Starter, Grow, Scale, Creator, Pro, Enterprise, Broadcaster, Network), or on an older plan that includes them. Otherwise the snippet menu shows an upgrade message.
* A podcast can hold up to 10 text snippets.

### Create a text snippet

1. Open the episode and select the **General** tab.
2. In the **Description** or **Show notes** editor, open the **Text snippets** menu.
3. Select **Add new snippet**.
4. Enter the **Title** (up to 20 characters).
5. Optional: enter a **Placeholder** with letters and digits only. The placeholder must be unique in the podcast.
6. Enter the **Snippet** text (up to 5000 characters). A snippet must not reference another snippet.
7. Save the snippet.

The Text snippets menu sits in the toolbar of the Description editor and opens with Add new snippet.

The Add new snippet dialog takes the title, the optional placeholder, and the snippet content.

### Insert a text snippet

* To insert the text one time, select the snippet from the **Text snippets** menu. The text becomes part of the field and does not change later.
* To insert a placeholder, write the snippet name in lowercase between double curly braces. Do this in the **Description** or the **Show notes**. For the placeholder SPONSOR, write the word sponsor inside the double braces. All episodes that use the placeholder change when you change the text snippet.

Podigee replaces the placeholder when you save the episode.

### Edit or delete a text snippet

1. Open the **Text snippets** menu and select **Edit snippet**.
2. Change the title, placeholder, or text. The dialog warns: "Modifying the content of this snippet will also modify N episodes!" for every episode that uses the placeholder.
3. Save the snippet. To delete it instead, use the delete action. The delete confirmation counts the episodes that use it.

### Expected result

Podigee shows "Text snippet updated". Every episode that uses the placeholder receives the new text in the background.

### If you cannot complete the task

* The menu shows "Currently we only allow saving a maximum of 10 text snippets. Please delete another snippet first before creating a new one.": delete a snippet that you no longer need.
* "Text snippets must not reference other snippets, please remove: ...": remove the nested placeholder from the snippet text.
* The menu shows an upgrade message: the plan of the podcast owner does not include text snippets.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/create-and-publish/production/episodes/use-text-snippets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
