Julio Beltran (ID: 000000d92ab6055e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/21/2020 Después de instalar la extensión, crear un nodo en WF para que sirva como buzón único (inbox) y de sincronizar la extensión con mi lista en WF, pude seleccionar texto en una página web, pulsar el ícono de la extensión en los controles de Chrome (no aparece en el menú contextual) y guardar el nombre de la página en un nodo dentro de mi buzón, cuya nota contiene el link de retorno y el texto seleccionado. La m,olestia es llevar los nodos del buzón hasta la lista que le corresponde.

(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/15/2019 I've had this extension only around 15 minutes or so. Does exactly what it says. I set up a category of In Box at the very top of my Workflowy categories & all the clips go there. Kudos!! Thank you.
