About the WebSnip Extension
The WebSnip Extension lets you extract and validate data from web pages. It increases the credibility of your evidence by capturing the URL and timestamp of your screenshot and syncing them directly to Excel for desktop. By removing manual steps and third-party apps, you can import data quickly, reduce the chance of human error, and keep data capture from web pages consistent.
