Text and data
Text is sent only when you choose to analyse it.
The current text and analysis stay in this panel’s memory. Hiding or closing the side panel may leave it open in the browser. Reloading loses this panel state. Use Reset to clear it explicitly.
The latest selected fragment and an automatically issued temporary access session are kept in the browser session. Reset clears them. Only the language preference is saved between browser sessions.
The preview does not receive selections from other tabs. Reloading clears its text, analysis, and language choice.
Reset clears this panel and the captured selection. It does not delete copied text, downloaded files, or a request already sent.
