### What issue do you have?

I've just started using Joplin, and I want to use the Web Clipper. The instructions in the Help say: "To start using it, open the Joplin desktop application, go to the Web Clipper Options and follow the instructions".  
I'm looking at the Joplin desktop application on my Windows laptop, and I can't find any Web Clipper Options. Where are they? I have the following pull-down menus at the top left of the window: File, Edit, View, Go, Notebook, Note, Tools, Help. None of these contain any Web Clipper Options. The menus at the top of the right-hand column all relate to editing the current note. So where do I find Web Clipper Options? Sorry, I expect the answer is obvious, but I'm currently stuck. Thanks.

Go to Tools → Options, then you should see Web Clipper on the left bar.

Real idiots do not tend to ask for help.  
More important, idiots do not tend to use Joplin.  
Come to your own conclusions. 🤫
