How to copy multiple sheets to the Clipboard in Ulysses Mac

Was trying to copy a few sheets in the writing application Ulysses to the clipboard. I found what to do but it is confusing. You think the normal copy function would work by selecting multiple sheets:

Copy doesn't work like you would think here. — Copy doesn’t work like you would think here.

But it results in the following when pasting…

ulysses://x-callback-url/open?id=w2dUH4mafDX5PXWm0mKeqQ
ulysses://x-callback-url/open?id=eRznbiOJJOuj7RUgQKSNkA

Instead I found that if you try to share the sheets as if you were publishing them you have an option to copy to the clipboard:

The "A" graphic here stands for "Copy to Clipboard" — The “A” graphic here stands for “Copy to Clipboard”

The “A” icon in the above screen shot is the option you should use to get the contents of multiple Ulysses sheets in to the clipboard. You can choose the format in the format section so that you don’t have to take the text as Markdown.

After clicking the icon in the share sheet just switch to another app and paste the text.
