There’s two ways to get the BugHerd sidebar to appear on a web page. You can either:
- Install some Javascript code
- Install a browser extension
Which installation is right for me?
Javascript code
If you have access to the code for the web page you’re looking to get feedback on, then you can install BugHerd using the Javascript code.
Follow these steps to install the javascript in your site.
Browser Extension
If you don’t have access to the code, or you’re just doing a trial of BugHerd, we recommend installing the browser extension.
If you’re setting up your BugHerd project, you can simply click the suggested extension to begin installing, or follow the instructions for your preferred browser.
⚠️ Important information about the BugHerd tab on production websites.
If you use the the javascript snippet to gather feedback (rather than a browser extension) on a production website, the BugHerd tab will be visible on the website to anyone visiting your website, not just BugHerd users. Clicking the tab will open the BugHerd login screen.
We recommend that you don’t install the BugHerd Javascript code on your production websites. If you need to gather feedback on production websites, you can get your clients to install the BugHerd chrome extension as an alternative to the javascript code snippet.
