How to stash images, code, and articles

Use stash when an image, code block, or article is useful now but you are not ready to copy or download it. The resource is kept locally so you can continue browsing and return to it later.

Stash a resource

1. Enable local history and the resource types you plan to use in Settings.
2. Refresh the source page, point at the image, code, or article, and press Shift + F.
3. Check the highlighted boundary. Choose Stash in the resource toolbar, then wait for the saved confirmation.
4. Open the ShiftTable launcher on another page and expand history to find the saved item. Use it, open its source, or delete it when finished.

What stash preserves

An image is stored with its captured resource data, while code and article entries keep the selected text and source metadata. Stash is useful for collecting references before a writing or research session; it is not a live bookmark and does not update when the page changes.

Common questions

Why can’t I stash this resource?

The resource type may be disabled, the capture may not have completed, or local storage may be unavailable. Re-enable the type, capture again, and check the save status before leaving the page.

Does stash send the resource to AI?

No. Stashing only saves it locally. Open the item later and choose the AI action when you are ready to send that resource and its context.

What to remember

Stash is a local holding area for later work. Keep the source URL, avoid storing sensitive material longer than necessary, and clear the stash when the review is complete.
