Frequently Asked Questions
How is skipping different from keeping the first items?
Skipping drops the top items and keeps everything below, while keeping the first items does the opposite. Skip is useful for removing a header row or a few intro lines.
What if I skip more items than the list has?
You get an empty result, since every item has been dropped.
Can I skip zero items?
Yes. Skipping zero returns the whole list unchanged.
Does it keep the order of the remaining items?
Yes. The items that remain stay in their original order.
Is my list uploaded?
No. The trimming runs in your browser and your list never leaves the tab.
