Issue with Dust Assistant Only Capturing Part of Canva Carousel Text

·
·

Hello, I just tried the chrome extension. Really amazing! I just have a quick issue. Here is my use case : I'm in Canva making a linkedin carrousel. I want to attach the text of the carrousel in a Dust assistant and ask him to check the grammar of the text. But when i'm doing that, it seems that the assistant only get the 5 page on my screen instead of the 35 pages of my caroussel. Any idea of how to fix this? Thanks! Amazing product btw, the extension is going to be a game changer

    Thanks for the feedback Eliot Hallak ! I’ll share with the team. They’ll definitely be happy to hear that ☺️ Sometimes it’s a matter of loading the full page first. Have you tried scrolling down to the bottom then using the extension? I had the same issue when trying to summarize a company activity page on LinkedIn, doing a quick scroll did the trick. cc Daphné

    Indeed, I think that Canva lazyloads the images so that the page is not too heavy on the first load. I think the Dust extension uses the HTML DOM to retrieve what it "sees" so since the elements aren't loaded, they don't appear in full in the DOM, so the extension can't use them.

    I tried to go to the bottom but it didn't worked better, it just attached the last 5 slides of my carrousel. Any way I can handle this problem?

    If text is lazy loaded you won't have a perfect way to extract all content at once indeed. For this use case the easier would be to work on the content beforehand on Notion for example (or anything similar) so that you can iterate on the content with your assistant(s) prior to pasting it in Canva to work on the visual part. If you prefer iterating on the copy directly from Canva then you could have something working with the "Attach Screenshot" button but it would have to be done manually for each slide, so definitely not super smooth.
