BEFORE YOU USE IT
Risks to review before use
Selective screenshots create false confidence
A precise crop can omit qualifications elsewhere in the document. Read the full source, include enough context, disclose missing anchors, and review the generated Word file before relying on it.
SECURITY
What the permission profile means
- Approve dependency installation and browser access separately.
