As before, will highlight text on a web page and then click on the Distill icon in Chrome and select to Monitor parts of the page. Nothing happens. This used to launch a bottom window where I can modify my scrape and then have Distill track it.

Hello @scrape1 - thanks for reaching out and reporting the issue. Are you unable to use the visual selector as described in the following article: [What is Visual Selector? – Distill](https://distill.io/docs/web-monitor/what-is-visual-selector/)?

As a test, are you able to open the visual selector for following pages?

[https://distill.io](https://distill.io)  
[https://www.google.com](https://www.google.com)

If it loads for these URLs but not for the URL you were trying to monitor, can you share that URL? It is possible that the page’s stylesheet has a rule that is hiding the visual selector’s panel. We can figure that out and then release an update to fix that. Thanks!
