Web clipper

AuroraDocs includes a first-slice Web Clipper package for saving pages and selections from the browser into AuroraDocs.

What It Captures

The current clipper supports:

• Clip page: creates a Bookmark object, sends it to Inbox, and stores the source URL.
• Clip selection: creates a Page object with the selected content quoted in the body, sends it to Inbox, and stores the source URL.

Selection clipping preserves basic formatting such as bold text, links, and lists. Relative links are saved against the original page URL.

Where Clips Go

Clips land in Inbox so you can process them later:

• tag them
• move them into a space or folder
• convert a capture into a task when appropriate
• link them into existing notes

See Inbox & capture for the triage flow.

Setup

The current local install path uses the unpacked Manifest V3 extension from apps/clipper.

The popup asks for:

• AuroraCloud API URL
• workspace ID
• AuroraDocs sign-in

The clipper handles MFA prompts and keeps a refreshable local extension session instead of requiring you to paste a short-lived bearer token.

Scope

The clipper is for AuroraCloud workspaces. Browser-only and Local folders workspaces do not expose a server API that a browser extension can safely write to from outside the app.
