Version 1.9.0
The last major version of v1.x is here, and it features a new way of interacting with tabExtend. You can now save and add notes from the tabExtend popover. The popover can be opened on top of any website(excluding the new tab, Chrome store, and other browser settings pages). Here are a few pointers on how to use it:
• Open tabExtend popover - To open the popover you can either click the tabExtend icon in the extensions panel or use the shortcut: Cmd + U (Mac)/Ctrl + U(PC)
• Overview - Once the popover is open, you can drag the popover, add notes, toggle dark mode, add to-do and colors.
• Save site and note - When you click save, you will see your library of workspaces and categories. You can then choose to save to an existing group or create a new group.
• See saved sites and notes - If you open the popover on an already saved website, you will see where it's saved and if there are any notes. This also works for items that are saved in a shared workspace.
• Open tabExtend dashboard - In the bottom-right corner, you can find a button that will take you to the tabExtend dashboard.
Your extension should auto-update, but if it does not, you can go to chrome://extensions/ → Details → Update
