My version is the latest Basic one.

I agree it would be super helpful to know what to do. The implication is that it should do something out of the box, but it won’t. You need to define regex and/or query parameters from your URL which is not necessarily a good task to lay at the feet of non-programmers. Here is an example that I put together to clean a specific example of an amazon link. No idea if it is universal, it would take more testing.
