Chrome extension dashboard

If you have access to Developer mode in the Chrome extension dashboard, you can also manually update Kami Companion there using the steps below.

⚠️ Not all school devices will have access to Developer mode, so you may need to ask your administrator to update Kami Companion for you.

If your administrator deployed the Kami extension through the Google Admin console, ask them to push the latest version to everyone, or disable version pinning to allow manual updates from the user side. Consult your Google Administrator for guidance on how best to update the extension on your school device.
