Install Extension — QA Note Docs

Install from Chrome Web Store

Search for QA Note in the Chrome Web Store.
Click the Add to Chrome button to install.
The QA Note icon will appear in your browser toolbar.

The Extension supports email/password login and Google OAuth login.

Click the QA Note icon in the toolbar.
Click the Login button to open the login popup.
Log in with your email/password or Google account.
Once login is complete, the popup will close automatically and the Extension will be connected.

After your first login, a Data Collection Consent screen will be displayed. If you agree, technical metadata collection features like console logs and network requests will be enabled.

During this process, Chrome will request the <all_urls> permission. Granting it allows you to use all QA Note features on every site. Basic screenshot capture works even if you decline.
