Updating ENSKOM

When ENSKOM shows that an update is available:

  1. Download the new ZIP on Getting started in your ENSKOM account.
  2. Extract it and copy its files over the same ENSKOM folder, replacing the old files.
  3. On chrome://extensions, press the reload button (↻) on the ENSKOM card.
The ENSKOM card on Chrome’s Extensions page: the reload button marked, Remove marked as never.The ENSKOM card on Chrome’s Extensions page: the reload button marked, Remove marked as never.

Never press Remove. Removing the extension can delete the research data stored in your browser. Updating over the same folder keeps it.

If a red notice appears right after an update, press the reload button once more.
