FAQ (Troubleshooting)

  • Can’t find extension icon after installation: Some browsers collapse extensions into the “Extensions/Puzzle” menu. You can pin the extension to the toolbar from that menu.
  • No sync after login: Please confirm network is available and check for failed request logs in developer tools; if necessary, log out and log in again.
  • Multi-device sync delay: Usually takes some time to complete cloud sync. It’s recommended to wait a moment or manually trigger a sync.
