Chrome extension

The Chrome extension lets you leave pins on any page in your browser, including sites you do not control: a live competitor, a client’s app, a third-party tool your team relies on. It opens a side panel next to the page you are on, and the pins you leave sync straight to your workspace. No script tag is required.

Install and connect

Add the extension

Install Skyelight from the Chrome Web Store  and pin it to your toolbar so it is one click away.

Open the side panel and sign in

Click the Skyelight toolbar icon to open the side panel, then sign in (or sign up) with the same account you use for the dashboard. If you are already signed in on the web app, the extension picks up that session automatically. It then connects to the workspaces and projects you are a member of.

Choose your workspace

Pick the workspace you want to work in from the switcher at the top of the panel. The first time, a short setup walks you from organization to workspace to project.

Leaving a pin

You can start pinning three ways:

  1. Press C on any page.
  2. Right-click and choose Pin with Skyelight (or Pin selected text with Skyelight if you have text highlighted).
  3. Click Add pin in the side panel.

Then click the element you want to comment on, write your comment, and submit. If you started from a text selection, Skyelight skips the crosshair and pins the highlighted text directly.

The pin is anchored to that element and appears in the dashboard immediately. It is auto-classified as Feedback, an Idea, or a Bug, and anyone on the project can reply. See Pins & threads for how anchoring and classification work.

The first pin you leave on a new site lets you pick which project it belongs to (or create one on the spot). Later pins on that site inherit the same project, so you only choose once.

Tips

  • The default keyboard shortcut to open the panel is Alt+Shift+K. You can change it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
  • Because the extension runs in your browser, it works on pages behind a login and on internal tools, anywhere you can already reach with Chrome.
  • Open a thread straight from a notification email and the extension lifts the panel and jumps to that pin.

Extension vs. chip

Use the extension when you want to leave feedback on pages you visit but do not own. Use the chip widget when you want feedback on your own product, with no install required for the people leaving it.
