Allow customers to copy a pretty print formatted json

Currently when copying a document from MongoDB compass, the copy button will put the stringified json onto your clipboard. However, the text that is copied omits whitespace. As such, if I want to make the json more human parsable, I need to visit a website like jsonformatter, paste the document, then recopy the cleaned json doc. Would be nice if we could specify whether to copy w/ or w/o whitespace formatting.

    A little late to update the portal, but the copy button started including whitespace to enabling pasting pretty print formatted JSON a long time ago. I hope that the users who upvoted this item have found that improvement to be helpful! Please let us know if you have any more feedback.
