Protected Capture configuration tasks

Coming in the next update

Ask Goblin to open the secure forms for cloud upload credentials and text recognition providers. Passwords and API keys are typed only in the forms, never in the chat.

Goblin can open the capture setup screens for you when you ask, but it never handles your secrets. Cloud credentials, archive passwords and OCR API keys are typed only in the secure forms inside Goblin. They are never part of what you tell Goblin, and they never show up in its replies.

Ask Goblin to open a secure form#

  1. Ask Goblin for the review you want, such as "Review Capture Cloud Credentials" (the tables below list them all).
  2. Goblin opens the same form or confirmation you would reach from SettingsCaptureUpload or SettingsCaptureAdvanced. If you set a protection password, its password prompt comes first.
  3. Fill in the form or confirm the dialog yourself. Run Save & Test to apply cloud credentials.
  4. Ask "Read Capture Configuration Review Result" to see whether it completed or is still waiting. "Cancel Capture Configuration Review" closes it.

A prepared review is not a finished setup. Nothing is configured, exported, reset or tested until you complete the form or confirmation in Goblin. Completed saves, exports and network effects are not rolled back, and these settings have no Undo. If the model, the selection or the cloud configuration changes while a review is open, the review is out of date; start a fresh one. Password, Keychain, provider, network and Google authorization requirements work as they do in Settings.

Cloud commands#

See Cloud upload for the settings themselves.

Say or typeWhat it does
Read Capture Cloud Configuration StatusReports only whether cloud is configured and the provider type.
Review Capture Cloud CredentialsOpens the credential form, with its password prompt if one is set. Save & Test checks the connection and applies the lifecycle settings before saving.
Review Import Capture Cloud CredentialsOpens the archive chooser, the password and decryption sheets and a credential draft. Importing only fills the form; finish Save & Test to apply it.
Review Export Capture Cloud CredentialsUses the password prompt, the archive passphrase sheet and a save panel. It writes the usual encrypted archive.
Review Reset Capture Cloud ConfigurationPrepares the confirmation for removing the cloud configuration and its stored credentials.

OCR provider commands#

The providers are the text recognition models in SettingsCaptureAdvanced (Advanced capture settings). Commands that name a provider use its UUID from List Capture OCR Providers (or builtIn for the built-in one).

Say or typeWhat it does
List Capture OCR ProvidersReports current model IDs, names, the host of each endpoint and whether a key is stored. It leaves out user information, paths and queries.
Review Add Capture OCR ProviderOpens the form for name, endpoint, model, prompt and secure key.
Review Edit Capture OCR Provider UUIDOpens that model in the form. Leave the key empty to keep the stored one.
Review Select Capture OCR Provider UUID or builtInPrepares a confirmation of where future text recognition goes. Selecting sends no request.
Review Remove Capture OCR Provider UUIDConfirms the exact name and UUID before the model and its key are removed, and falls back if it was selected.
Review Test Capture OCR Provider UUIDConfirms a connection test with the stored key. Provider error details stay in the form's result, not in Goblin's reply.

Warning: Custom OCR providers may receive the pictures you capture in future text recognition. Selecting one doesn't send anything by itself, but later captures can.
