Troubleshooting
Extension Not Appearing After Installation
- Refresh your browser tabs - Sometimes extensions need a page refresh to activate
- Check extension settings - Go to your browser’s extension management page:
- Chrome/Edge:
chrome://extensions/oredge://extensions/ - Firefox:
about:addons
- Chrome/Edge:
- Verify it’s enabled - Make sure the extension isn’t disabled
- Try reinstalling - If it still doesn’t appear, uninstall and reinstall
Can’t Annotate on Certain Websites
Some websites restrict extensions for security reasons:
- Browser internal pages (like
chrome://orabout:pages) - Some banking or financial sites
- Sites with strict Content Security Policies
This is a browser limitation, not an issue with Annote. Try annotating on a regular webpage.
Notes Not Syncing
- Check your login status - Click the Annote icon and verify you’re signed in
- Check your internet connection - Syncing requires an active connection
- Try signing out and back in - This can refresh your session
- Check browser permissions - Make sure Annote has permission to access websites
Performance Issues
If Annote seems slow:
- Close unused tabs - Too many tabs can slow down extensions
- Check for conflicts - Other annotation extensions might conflict
- Update your browser - Make sure you’re on the latest version
- Clear browser cache - Sometimes helps with extension issues
