Annotate PRO Beta Versions

You can gain instant access to the latest AP beta by:

1. Joining the AP Chrome Beta Google Group
2. Visiting this private link in the Google Chrome Webstore to install the latest beta just like any other Extension

You’ll only be able to get to step 2 if you complete step 1.

FAQ:

• Note: using ALT-A to open AP from ANY webpage is one of our best features. Switching between production and beta versions of AP can confuse Chrome and you may need to manually specify the keyboard shortcut to get it working. Here’s how:
  1. Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
  2.  Click the ‘X’ in the Annotate PRO section.
  3. Click into the entry area and type “ALT-A” (both keys at the same time).
  4. Try it! AP should be back in business with the shortcut.
• What’s NEW in the beta?
  • New Floating Toolbar feature (visit ‘A’ then gear icon then Settings then Toolbars then choose On: Float. 
  • Improved support for Google Docs and Google Classroom.
• If you have the beta installed you’ll get automatic updates to the beta just like the production version of AP.
• You can happily run both the production version of AP and the beta at the same time. Make sure to disable production if using the beta and vice versa. Visit chrome://extensions/ and toggle one of your APs off or uninstall the production version of AP. In the screenshot below we have toggled OFF the AP beta (Mar-8-2021) and toggled ON the production version (6.1).

Please provide feedback or report issues with the beta by completing this form. In particular, look for toolbar strangeness (not showing up when you expect it, for instance), settings not ‘sticking’ and of course failures to insert your awesome pre-written comments!

We regularly provide individuals with a year’s access to all paid features and content as a small “thank you” for finding bugs and providing feedback on AP.
