Copy, view, and reopen a capture
Move from the live page to the workspace and back without losing the original anchors.

Viewer controls
The capture viewer supports pointer pan, wheel zoom anchored to the cursor, double-click zoom, and controls from 50% to 800%. Selecting a pin opens rendered Preview and verbatim Raw Markdown tabs.
- Download the screenshot or copy the session Markdown from the viewer.
- Open the public Markdown in ChatGPT or Claude from the viewer action menu when sharing is available.
Review on the original page
“Review on page” opens the captured origin and rehydrates the pins. Pinar rejects an origin mismatch, preserves each historical anchor and box, records relocation history, and lets you manually reposition an unresolved pin.
Clipboard from the viewer and reopen gating
Copy page in the viewer writes the same correlated Markdown bundle used on the live page, using compact or full handoff from saved preferences and captureId falling back to the session id. The action menu opens the public Markdown at /v/{id}.md, or starts ChatGPT or Claude with a prompt that points at that URL.
“Review on page” dispatches a reopen event with the session id. The helper hydrates only from a trusted Pinar application URL when that id matches the session id or captureId and the tab origin still equals the captured page origin. Navigating the tab off that origin drops the binding instead of injecting pins into the wrong site.
- If no reopen result arrives, the viewer shows a missing-helper hint instead of waiting indefinitely.
- Public or older viewers that cannot read preferences still copy using compact handoff.
- A tab that is still about:blank keeps the hydration binding; only a different origin drops it.
