💡 Note some input names are reserved for specific functionality in Shopia. [language] is one of these cases and we refer to them as shortcodes. When running this step, [language] will be replaced by the user’s default output language.

Now we can see our input [text to summarize] is displayed:

Changing input settings

💡 As we can see only [Text to summarize] has options to change the input display. [language] being a shortcode does not have an displayed input.

We can add the options we want here. we’ll turn on ‘add files & URLs’:

Our input can now be a file or URL content as expected:
