INSTANTSELECT 1.0.0 · USER GUIDE

ON THIS PAGE+

Get started

  1. Buy instantSelect at theloopboard.com/extension. Your key arrives by email in seconds.
  2. Install instantSelect from the Chrome Web Store (Chrome, Brave, Opera) or Microsoft Edge Add-ons.
  3. Pin it: click the puzzle icon in the toolbar, then the pin next to instantSelect.
  4. Activate: click the instantSelect icon, paste your key, and press Activate.
  5. Open Instagram. If Instagram was already open, refresh the tab.

Collect links

Single mode (default)

  • Click ➤ on a reel or video. It turns into ✓ and the link is in your list.
  • Click ✓ to remove it again. Undo appears for a few seconds.

Multi-select

  1. Open the tray (toolbar icon) and choose Multi-select.
  2. Tap ◯ on posts. They number 1, 2, 3… in the order you pick. Tap a number to unpick.
  3. A bar appears at the bottom of Instagram:
  • Send links: move your picks into your list.
  • Select all: pick every video post loaded on this page that you don't have yet. Scroll first to load more.
  • Clear selection: start over (with Undo).
  • – makes the bar small.

Your picks stay while you move around Instagram: open a reel, visit the creator, pick more there, and come back.

Copy and paste your links

Open the tray → Copy all → paste anywhere: a note, a spreadsheet, a chat, or LoopBoard. Links are one per line. To start fresh, press Clear list twice (Undo is available right after).

Good to know

  • Photos never get a button. Only reels, video posts, and carousels that contain a video can be collected.
  • Carousels get a button once instantSelect has seen a video inside them. Open the post, or see it in your feed.
  • Reels player: after each swipe the button shows a spinner for about half a second, then turns on once the reel has settled. This makes sure you collect the reel you're looking at. If it shows a crossed circle, open that reel on its own page to collect it.
  • Turn it off anytime with the switch in the tray. Your list is kept.
  • Updates install automatically from the browser's extension store. To get one straight away, open the tray → ⚙ Settings → Check for updates.

Your license

  • One key works in one browser at a time.
  • Moving to a new browser or computer: just activate your key there. It moves automatically, and the old browser stops within about 24 hours. You can move it up to 3 times a day.
  • You can also free it yourself: open the tray → ⚙ Settings → Deactivate this browser (click twice).
  • instantSelect checks your key once a day. Offline, it keeps working for up to 7 days.
