Doesn't import existing content

Have just tried this. Given I provided a URL in step 1, I would have expected it to pull in content from that page (excluding nav, footer, etc). However, I just get a blank content pane on the left panel. Therefore, I have to spend time adding the content, applying the relevant formatting etc. Not great. We currently use Neuronwriter, so whilst having this feature embedded directly within Ahrefs is an attractive proposition, it really needs to have the basics sorted (even in beta) before we can consider using it. Thx

Hi Kieran Thomas,
Thank you for the feedback! You're right – the tool should import the content when a URL is provided during document creation. We've identified the bug causing the issue and have fixed it. The update will be released soon, and the process should work as expected.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or thoughts.
Thanks again!

OK - slight correction on this one. It turns out it does, but the UI needs to be improved to better communicate that.
Instead of just showing "URL, title and meta description" with nothing else, could you please consider showing the "Fetch metadata from URL" and "Import content from URL" links at that stage (as opposed to only showing them once someone has clicked on what effectively looks like a blank page). Styling them as buttons would also help make them more obvious (esp on that first screen)
I hope the feedback helps?
