Choose fields on a sample page
Choose Add Step → Save Text, then Pick text. Pick a title, price, rating, or other text on a sample page. Each click adds a field to the sidebar preview. Name columns and reorder or remove fields while picking. Click a picked element again to deselect it. Done keeps the session’s changes; Cancel restores the previous selections and column names. Both controls are available on the page and in the sidebar.
Each field shows its CSS selector and element occurrence. Use Edit selector, Reveal, or Repick to inspect and adjust the target. Column names must be nonempty and unique. Finish picking and resolve configuration errors before saving or running.
What gets saved
Each execution reads selected fields from the current page into a dataset in Dashboard → Data. Save Text steps in the same run contribute columns to one dataset. Inside For each link, their fields fill one row for the current visited link in that cycle. Without a link loop, saves contribute to one row per cycle. Missing fields are blank and carry a warning. Price and rating text stays as displayed; this step does not update Values.
Fields saved before or after Each Link apply to that cycle’s item rows. A new run starts a new dataset. Picking a table does not automatically split its contents into separate records.
Use Save Text as a regular step, inside a conditional branch, or inside For each link. Selections are configured once and reused automatically. Add a Wait step first when the page needs time to load.
Preview, test, and export
Refresh preview rereads the sample without saving results. Test save retains a Test run. Download the dataset as CSV, JSON, or Markdown, or export the run with its images in a ZIP.
