Name a place on a site

A pinpoint is a name, a label you read, a note you wrote, and the exact places it means. Say the name to your AI and it gets back the addresses and your sentences, then does a precise edit on each.

The Pinpoints page. Five pinpoints, each with a label, the name the AI is told, how many sites it points at and a one-line note. A warning strip at the top says one of them lost its last place when a site was disconnected, that it points nowhere until a place is added, and that the AI is told so when it asks.

Make one

Section titled “Make one”

  1. Open Pinpoints and press Make a pinpoint.

  2. Give it the name the AI is told: lower case, digits and hyphens, and the word somebody would actually say. the-pro-price, not pinpoint-7.

  3. Give it a label you read, then write your notes. The note is what the AI reads, word for word, before it changes anything there.

    The Make a pinpoint form: a field for the name the AI is told showing the-pro-price, a field for the label you read showing The Pro price, and a notes box reading change only the figure, never the currency, with a line saying the note is what the AI reads before it changes anything, at most 2048 bytes, and nothing is trimmed for you.

  4. Add the places it names, one site at a time. Pick the site, pick the page, then point at the block.

    The Add a place step headed Which block on page 14, with a four-step strip reading Site, Page, Block, Save. Two buttons offer Point at it on the page or Choose from the list instead, above a line saying the link works once, for ten minutes, and only for you, and that nothing is written to the page by pointing.

Point at it on the page opens the page on the site in a new tab, exactly as a visitor sees it, with a small ReDock bar across the bottom. Click the block, or the Elementor element, and you are brought straight back here to save it. Nothing on the page is edited by the click.

The pointing link works once, lasts ten minutes, and is yours alone.

Choose from the list instead shows every block on the page, in order, if you would rather pick from a list than click.

Why it keeps working

Section titled “Why it keeps working”

On a Gutenberg page, ReDock writes a name onto the block itself using WordPress’s own HTML anchor, the one under Advanced → HTML anchor. Reword the paragraph, restyle the section, insert three blocks above it: the anchor moves with the block, so the address still resolves.

Elementor elements already carry their own persistent id, so those are used as they are.

A pinpoint’s own page headed The opening hours. Under Where it points, two sites, each showing the page, the sentence the block currently holds, a Ready pill saying it was found by marker, and a line saying ReDock’s hidden marker is on this block so it is found however the page changes.

There is no guessing by description. A grid of cards is meant to look alike, so a place either carries the mark or it refuses, and the refusal names the site and the pinpoint. A pinpoint that quietly resolved to the wrong block would be worse than one that refuses.

A block that cannot carry a mark says so before you save, not after.

The note

Section titled “The note”

The note is yours, word for word: what must not change, who owns it, when it is safe to touch. At most 2048 bytes, stored and handed over exactly as you write it, never shortened and never rewritten.

Say what must not change rather than steps. A pinpoint says where and why; the AI works out how to make the change each time.

When a place goes

Section titled “When a place goes”

A pinpoint that lost its last place, usually because a site was disconnected, says so on its own row and at the top of the list. It points nowhere until a place is added, and the AI is told that when it asks.

Deleting a pinpoint removes the name and every place it holds. Nothing on any site changes: a pinpoint has never edited anything.
