Attach mode: the panel names the file, and the page’s upload area is highlighted until you click it.Illustration · sample data

The first time you attach, Pastree may ask for access.

It asks once, for access to all websites, unless you’ve already allowed it for auto-capture. You can take it away in your browser’s extension settings.

If attaching doesn’t work

Attaching works with standard file inputs and drop zones, including forms inside embedded frames. Some sites build uploads in ways an extension can’t reach.

Try this first

Reload the page and choose Attach again. If the site still doesn’t accept it, upload the file the usual way.

Still need a hand? Try troubleshooting or prepare a bug report.

Tips

  • Keep a one-page and a full-length résumé side by side.
  • Switch to thumbnail view to tell versions apart at a glance.
  • You can store up to 50 files. Remove old versions to keep the list short.
