Chrome extension

The Skyelight Chrome extension lets workspace members pin threads on any http or https page they can open in Chrome. That includes staging sites, production apps and internal tools behind a login. The site doesn’t need a script tag or any other setup.

The extension opens in a side panel next to the page. The panel lists the threads in your project, and the page shows a marker on each pinned element.


Install and sign in

  1. Install the extension

    Add Skyelight from the Chrome Web Store  and pin it to your toolbar.

  2. Open the side panel

    Click the Skyelight icon in the toolbar, or press Alt+Shift+K. To use a different shortcut, change it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

  3. Sign in

    Click Sign in. A window opens at app.skyelight.ai. Sign in with the account you use in the web app, and the panel signs in with it. If the panel shows You’re signed in, click Continue.

    If you don’t have a workspace yet, the panel asks you to create an organization, a workspace and a project before you pin.

  4. Choose a workspace and project

    Choose a workspace and a project in the panel header. New threads go to the project shown there. Each tab keeps its own project, and a new tab starts on the last project you used in that workspace.

Chrome extension or review badge

Both create the same threads. The extension is for people who install it. The review badge is for people who won’t, such as clients reviewing a preview.

When someone with the extension opens a page that also runs the review badge, the badge doesn’t load and the extension shows the threads instead. The page never shows two sets of markers.

Chrome doesn’t let extensions run on chrome:// pages or on the Chrome Web Store. On those pages the panel asks you to open a regular page. The extension also can’t pin inside a hosted prototype. Use the review badge there.
