yinpong 0 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 As captioned above. I don't remember seeing this option before, which could potentially be a very useful feature, and that evernote should have implemented ages ago. Then I can use it to replace OneTab on Chrome. However, it doesn't work at all on all the computers I've tried. Strangely, a search of it on Google returned no results, which doesn't happen very often. No announcement from Evernote, no one's talking about it, no changelogs, nothing. Am I missing something here or is it a real useful feature coming? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,021 Posted July 10, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi. I have that option too. I think it's probably universal for this browser clipper at least. It's an official acknowledgement of something which some browser clippers were able to do a while ago - if you have one of those articles which extends over page 1 - page 3 Evernote sometimes was able to clip all the pages in one hit. Looks like they cracked the trick - in Chrome at least ...and with the proviso that it can make for longer clipping times. I have used this feature to clip pages alongside other tricks like looking for the 'print' option on a web page to get a plainer one-page layout, and using online services to export pages to PDF files. I copy multi-page documents so seldom though that it's going to stay 'off' in my Clipper. Link to comment
Stacey Harmon 1,108 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I'm trying to better understand this option too. I've read your comments @gazumpedbut still not clear on what this setting is saying. Is it referring to those websites that make you click through to a 2nd page, or a 3rd page, to continue reading? Or, something else? I guess I'm not clear what type of web page would be multi-page. (I use Chrome if that matters). Ideally, does anyone have a link to a webpage that this clipper setting would apply to so I can test it for myself? I can't seem to find a page that triggers this. Thanks in advance for any further clarification. Link to comment

Can't find any multi-page websites to try it out though. Tried a search for "next page" to see whether that would prompt any suggestions - seems like there's a lot of software out there for making web pages easier to navigate.. (The alternative option - that if you clip several different pages, all the clips wind up in one note - seems not to work. I just tried it with three clips and got three notes. It's pretty redundant to have this mode anyway - just clip the different content and merge the notes...) I'll keep an eye out for a suitable multi-page to test! Please let us know if you find a definitive answer... 1 Link to comment
Stacey Harmon 1,108 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 @gazumpedThanks for your response. In further forum research, it seems to me that no one clearly understands what this preference does! I also can't get it to behave differently in my tests with the option selected, or not. Good to know I'm not the only one. Will update here if I find a good web-page to test or get further clarification on this feature. Seems best to just merge clipped notes in Evernote after clipping anyhow...especially with the enhanced merge functionality of v10. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,695 Posted January 5, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Just gave it a try. I see no difference in having this active or not. It does not clip "second" pages. When I clip in the note the link to page 2 is active, but it opens the page in the browser, not in EN. There is no content from following pages clipped. The test was on a page without paywall. Thanks @Stacey for picking this up - will be interesting tom learn from support what it does. If I need to clip a multi pager, I try the "all pages" option on the website, plus the reader mode, as @gazumped already posted. 1 Link to comment
