Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re slicing a list, Extract a Sublist from a List gives you even more precision especially if you’re working with index ranges or patterns. And when you’re done slicing, Change the Length of a List helps trim or pad the result so it fits exactly where you need it. It’s a smooth way to carve up data, isolate chunks, or prep partial outputs without starting from scratch.
