A SMALL CHECK. A USEFUL CATCH.

Between your document
and the deadline.

  1. 01

    Enable it for your portal

    Open PasteLatch and grant access to that site. It stays off everywhere else.

  2. 02

    Paste your approved answer

    PasteLatch compares the intended text with what the plain text field actually contains.

  3. 03

    Review what changed

    See missing or changed text, then copy your original from local recovery. You decide what to do next.

CLEAR ABOUT WHAT IT KNOWS

A field check,
not a save receipt.

PasteLatch checks ordinary text inputs and textareas on enabled sites. A matching field does not prove that a portal saved, accepted, or submitted the answer.

This first release is tested with synthetic fixtures, including WebGrants-style truncation. Authenticated WebGrants forms, rich text editors, PDFs, and embedded frames are not verified compatible.

TRY IT WITH SYNTHETIC TEXT

Watch a portal lose the ending.

A 1,200-character answer. A 1,000-character field. One visible difference.
