✓Government documents & guidance

Keep public guidance and its documents together.

Put a scheme overview, its detailed guidance and the relevant attachments in one reference folder. Read selected page bodies as HTML and keep original documents beside them, so you can return to the right source without searching again.

How the file downloader works

Follow links by depthDepth 0 is the open page. Depth 1 adds the pages it links to, and depth 2 goes one step further. Files are listed from every level.
Narrow the listFilter by file type, name or a regular expression, then tick only the files you need.
Save the way you needSave to a folder, bundle into a ZIP, merge PDFs into one, or export the list as CSV.

Build a set you can revisit

Readable guidance

Use HTML for the overview and selected explanation pages. Its contents and search help you find a section.

Original documents

Keep PDF and Word files in a separate ZIP or folder, with their original names where useful.

Best for

  • ✓Prepare a reference set for one publicly described scheme or service.
  • ✓Keep a guidance page with its linked PDF and Word forms.
  • ✓Record sources and dates for research or an internal briefing.

Workflow

  1. 1A — the guidance page. Open the official page you may save and click “Combine pages into HTML”. Keep “Only the open page”, or choose “Also find the pages it links to” and pick one relevant topic. Free saves one page per run; Pro combines several selected pages into one HTML.
  2. 2Before collecting, turn on “AI analysis data (Markdown with sources)” if you want source-tracked files, choose the image and linked-document settings, then save the page as HTML.
  3. 3B — the attachments. Switch to “File downloader”, scan the same page, filter to PDF and Word and tick the forms and guidance you need. Free saves 10 files per download: select the next files and press “Save selected files” again, or save them as a ZIP to keep beside the HTML.
  4. 4C — the AI ZIP. After collecting, press “Save AI analysis ZIP”. Check source_url and captured_at, then record the stated revision and the date you checked in your own notes.
  5. 5Name the folder by topic and date, and group overview, guidance and forms. Before using the material later, revisit the official source for revised documents and dates.

A generic reference set

One public scheme

Overview → detailed guidance → linked PDF instructions and Word forms. Choose only the items needed for that topic.

A briefing note

For each point, note the source URL, date checked and any stated revision. Mark material you could not obtain as missing.

FAQ

Which pages belong in a useful set?

Start with one scheme or service: overview, detailed guidance and the forms it links to. Review discovered candidates against the menu and remove unrelated news or topics. Site structure affects which links can be found.

Can the PDF or Word text be included in the HTML?

Keep the original document separately. Linked PDF and Word text is not merged into the readable HTML. Successfully extracted text from supported documents can be included in AI output; check missing or failed documents.

Does saving a set confirm that it is complete or current?

Compare the saved pages and files with the needed official list. Record a stated revision yourself; capture time is not a document version. Recheck the current source before relying on a deadline or requirement.

How do I use a source list in a briefing?

Use source_url and captured_at from the AI output to identify saved material. Add the official document title and stated revision in your notes, and link each briefing point to the supporting source.

Can I start with one guidance page?

Yes. Free discovers candidates and saves one chosen page as HTML; Pro combines multiple selected page bodies. Start with the overview and needed attachments, then check the saved results against the source.

Free saves up to 10 files per download in the file downloader, and one chosen page per run when you combine pages into HTML; that page’s linked files are saved 10 at a time with “Save the next 10”. Pro ($19.99 one-time, up to 3 devices) removes the per-download cap and combines multiple pages into one HTML.
