  4. In the Personal Browser tab, select Download ZIP File

  5. Save the ZIP file to your computer

  2. Extract/unzip the file to a permanent location on your computer

    • Windows: Right-click → Extract All...

    • macOS: Double-click the ZIP file

  3. Remember this location—you'll need it in the next step

Step 3: Enable Developer Mode in Chrome

  1. Open Google Chrome

  2. Type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter

Keeping the extension updated


Important: With manual installation, updates are not automatic. When a new version is released:

  1. Download the latest ZIP from your Taskora dashboard

  2. Extract to the same folder as before (replacing old files)

  3. Go to chrome://extensions

  4. Select the refresh icon (circular arrow) on the Taskora extension card

  5. Reload any open ServiceTrade tabs

You'll receive notifications in the Taskora dashboard when updates are available.
