Install the Safari extension
Installing the Safari extension couldn't be simpler.
- Open the App Store and search for BugHerd. (Or click the install link in the Install BugHerd window.)
- Click Get under the BugHerd Website Feedback Tool title.
- Click Install. The Sign in pop up appears.
- Click Get. You may need to sign in to continue the install.
- Click Open under the BugHerd Website Feedback Tool heading. A BugHerd Extension window opens.
- Click Quit and Open Safari Extension Preferences... The window closes and Safari opens.
Note: If the window doesn't close, you can simply open Safari to continue. - If the Extensions preferences window doesn't open automatically, go to the Safari menu and select Preferences.
- In the preferences window, click on Extensions. The Extensions preference tab opens.
- You should see the BugHerd Extension listed. If it is not ticked, tick it to enable it.
- Return to the Safari browser. You should now see the BugHerd extension in the top bar.
- You're now set up. Login at bugherd.com to access your projects. If you'd like a quick introduction to getting started with BugHerd, watch this video.
Having trouble seeing the sidebar?
- It may take a few moments to load the BugHerd sidebar to your site. You may need to wait for 5-10 seconds before the sidebar appears. If it still doesn't show, try refreshing the page or closing & re-opening Safari.
- You may also notice some red dots above the BugHerd extension. These show when the sidebar is loading.
If they look like they're stuck (don't disappear after a second or so), you may need to close Safari and reopen it. Navigate to your site and the BugHerd sidebar should then appear. - If you are still having issues, please contact us at support@bugherd.com
