Hi Emily,

It sounds like you want to be able to use this sort of thing:

> **[Making sure you're not a bot!](https://sdk.collaboraonline.com/docs/extract_transform_api.html)**

from the desktop app in a macro / on-click or somesuch ? If you can sketch what you think would be most useful both from a UX perspective, and also from an API surface wrapped around that I imagine we can add some desktop-pieces to enable that.

But really Stephan is leading here,

Michael.
