I like to capture many excerpts from one source. The capture contextual menu disappears after first capture from the original document. I would just like to be able to capture many times from a same document without having to reopen it after each capture.

That is a highly unusual request and the first of it’s kind. It is noted though.

Thx for noting it down.  
Unusual? I might be missing something. How do you then clip distinct contents from a same source document?

Based on another post of yours, I guess you are pulling individual paragraphs. I mistook your request to mean capturing multiple formats, like PDF and webarchive, of the same page.

To what file format are you capturing when you use our browser extension to get these excerpts?

Have you tried dragging and dropping from the page directly into a database?

Ahh… nope, not like is possible on larger iOS devices supporting split screen.

Also that’s a very different mechanism than the Sorter in DEVONthink on the Mac. The Share extension isn’t controlled as part of DEVONthink To Go.
