Reinstalling removes that browser copy and adds a fresh one without deleting clinic Tasks, settings, or account data. It can repair extension problems, but it cannot charm a wrong password or another system’s permissions into cooperating; humans wisely try Update first.* --- ## Reinstall Tabflows when - Tabflows Side View does not load - Tabflows buttons are missing in your EHR or Spruce - Sidekick or Draft Assist is unavailable - A patient will not link or open correctly - A recent Tabflows update is not appearing Reinstalling the extension does not delete your clinic’s Tasks, settings, or account data. --- ## Reinstall the extension If Tabflows is still visible, try 👉 [How do I update the Tabflows Chrome extension ](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/how-do-i-update-the-tabflows-chrome-extension)before reinstalling.
