• The extension may store the last active interface view to improve continuity inside the extension UI.

4. File Handling

• When the user selects an Excel or CSV file, the file is processed locally inside the extension interface.
• The extension reads columns and rows needed to help prepare variable messages.
• When the user uploads a PDF or image as an authorization document for a sender name request, the file is transmitted only to the HotSMS service to complete that request.

6. Security
