Referencing the FCA Handbook in emails, advice notes, and compliance documentation often means spending time fixing messy formatting and dealing with links that don't take you to the right provision. Following internal cross-references to glossary definitions or related rules can also mean opening a thicket of tabs just to understand how provisions fit together. Handbook Helper is a browser extension that makes referencing the FCA's regulation and guidance faster, easier, and more effective. It adds clean copy and deep-linking utilities directly next to individual provisions, and lets you hover over internal cross-references to preview linked rules and definitions in place. Free Public Good #### Get Handbook Helper Free browser extension running locally in Chrome and Edge. [Install Chrome Extension ↗](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/handbook-helper/cnddknemlhibfneoaejmencbjapgilgk) #### Key features - **Direct provision deep links** Copy a deep link straight to an individual provision, rather than the wider Sourcebook or Chapter. Anyone opening your link lands directly on that specific rule, guidance or direction rather than at the top of a long page they have to navigate. - **Hyperlinked provision citations** Copy clean provision citations (such as [COBS 4.2.5G](https://handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/cobs4#p23271) ) hyperlinked directly to the provision. Perfect for citing rules in policy documents, emails, advice notes, and Slack messages without pasting body text. - **Clean rich text and plain text copying** Copy full provision text pre-formatted for Word, Outlook, Slack, and plain text. Automatically prefixes the snippet with a hyperlinked title, strips internal glossary links, and keeps clause markers intact without triggering your document editor's auto-numbering. - **Hover-to-peek in-page cross-references** Hover over Handbook cross-references to preview the linked definitions and other provisions, so you can read referenced rules and defined terms in context without losing your place or opening a new browser tab. #### Built for regulatory and legal workflows Whether you are drafting advice, writing or updating policies and procedures, or preparing FCA authorisation applications, Handbook Helper removes the friction of referencing UK financial regulation. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "LegalService", "@id": "https://appliedincantations.com/#organisation", "name": "Applied Incantations", "legalName": "Applied Incantations Ltd", "url": "https://appliedincantations.com", "logo": "https://appliedincantations.com/logo-black.png", "description": "London-based Fractional General Counsel and legal R&D for fintech and regulated businesses.
