    Need to keep your formatting intact? We've added a layout preservation feature! Enable "Preserve page layout" in the extension options to automatically recreate visual spacing and keep your columns perfectly aligned when pasting. You can also temporarily toggle this feature on the fly by simply holding down the Alt key while drawing your selection box (the box will turn green so you know it's active!).
