The contents of your document will be automatically converted between the two. ![](/files/QInhNfJp4Y1Jp0S5JpBr) In Code mode, the language selector gives you syntax highlighting for over 150 different programming languages. ![](/files/kYQ7UVhgKmIwRlmv2pDS) Download the content of the current document. ![](/files/q1yWhDfIfqNKc0P64CSx) See the [Public Download](#public-download-scratchpad-items) section below ![](/files/ioJT1AAGlgBi5YJlZilt) Send To shortcuts to copy the current document to your clipboard. You can also send the document over to the [CyberChef](/built-in-tools/cyberchef.md) or [Echo Up](/built-in-tools/echo-up.md) tools. ## Document Tree Scratchpad's document tree is a hierarchical file structure that supports drag-and-drop to reorder documents. You can also drag documents onto other documents to create child documents. Double click a document in the Document Tree to rename the document. ## Public Download Scratchpad Items ![Public Download](/files/zowcGcyzDAqwWO9RzYBH) Scratchpad documents can be downloaded using wget, curl, powershell or other HTTP request by clicking the ![](/files/ylw2clhJWz26AUjUYPsZ) button in the toolbar to make the document publicly available for 60 seconds. The popup screen will give you a number of download commands and a timer indicating the number of seconds remaining before the document automatically returns to private state. At any time you can remove public access by clicking the ![](/files/BcbKsVhZXm3VBtlAktfZ) button. When a document is public, no authentication is required to access the contents. The document is accessed by referencing the cryptographically secure random alphanumeric string. Anyone with this token can access the content while the document is public. ## Tier Availability **Scratchpad** is available on **Hobby Tier** and **Pro Tier**, and limited to two (2) scratchpad documents per Host on **Free Tier**. The **Public Download** feature is not available on **Free Tier**. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
