Product Library: Troubleshooting › First steps and sign-in Last checked: 2026-10-27 against Tabflows v3.10.63 Replaces Help Center article: https://help.tabflows.com/en/articles/17183679-how-do-i-update-the-tabflows-chrome-extension > **Summary:** Update Tabflows from the in-page update prompt or the extension Settings menu. Updating reloads the extension without removing your clinic’s Tasks, settings, or account data. > **A note for non-human readers:** > > *An extension update replaces the browser helper with its newer version, briefly reloading Tabflows while clinic Tasks, settings, and account data stay where they are. The in-product Update control is the shortest route when it appears; reinstalling is the larger remedy when Tabflows does not return. The extension may take a short trip, but the clinic’s work does not join it on vacation.* --- ## Before you update Save or finish anything you are editing in Tabflows. Updating briefly closes and reloads the extension. --- ## Update from the prompt When Tabflows has an update ready, a message appears near the bottom of the page: A brand new update just landed. 1. Select **Update**. 2. Wait while Tabflows reloads. 3. Open Tabflows again if it is not already visible. Tabflows reloads on the supported pages where it was already open. You may see You’re fully up to date after the update finishes. ![Update Tabflows extension from the prompt](https://zchipg5eqhxk0hvh.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/university/475b89ac30915bea.mp4) --- ## Update from Settings 1. Open **Settings** (⚙️) in the Tabflows extension. 2. Find the Tabflows section and check the version shown. 3. Select **Update extension**. 4. Wait while Tabflows reloads. If the button says You have the newest version, no update is ready to apply. Clinic settings is a separate button in the same menu; you do not need to open it to update the extension. ![Update Tabflows extension from Settings](https://zchipg5eqhxk0hvh.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/university/edc479cc83a82d34.mp4) --- ## Confirm the update Open Tabflows on a page where you normally use it and confirm the expected controls appear. Updating the extension does not remove your clinic’s Tasks, settings, or account data. --- ## If the update does not appear - Refresh the current page once, then reopen Tabflows. - If Update extension still says You have the newest version, Chrome may not have made the new build available yet. Try again later. - If a recent feature is still missing or Tabflows does not return, follow How do I reinstall the Tabflows Chrome extension. - Contact Support if the problem continues. --- ## Still having trouble? 💬 Reach out to our Support team however works best for you: - Start a chat using the **Support** button at the bottom right of the sidebar (side tabs) - Email us at team@tabflows.com or message us right here in the chat [Book a quick 15-30 minute chat!](https://go.team.tabflows.com/meetings/nafeesa) ## Related Articles - [I'm having trouble logging in to Tabflows](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/im-having-trouble-logging-in-to-tabflows) - [Install the Tabflows Chrome extension](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/admin-and-settings/install-the-tabflows-chrome-extension) - [Change how Tabflows opens and looks](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/admin-and-settings/change-how-tabflows-opens-and-looks) - [How do I sign in to Tabflows](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/admin-and-settings/how-do-i-sign-in-to-tabflows) - [How do I reinstall the Tabflows Chrome extension](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/how-do-i-reinstall-the-tabflows-chrome-extension) ## Related markdown Section index: [Troubleshooting](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting.md) Alongside this page: - [How do i reinstall the tabflows chrome extension](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/how-do-i-reinstall-the-tabflows-chrome-extension.md) - [I cant log in to a system in the tabflows side view](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/i-cant-log-in-to-a-system-in-the-tabflows-side-view.md) - [Im having trouble logging in to tabflows](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/im-having-trouble-logging-in-to-tabflows.md) - [Sidekick is missing practice information](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/sidekick-is-missing-practice-information.md) - [Sidekick is not referencing a file or document](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/sidekick-is-not-referencing-a-file-or-document.md) - [Sidekick is slow or gives an incomplete answer](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/sidekick-is-slow-or-gives-an-incomplete-answer.md) - [Sidekick is using the wrong patient context](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/sidekick-is-using-the-wrong-patient-context.md) - [Sidekick or a magic button isnt showing up](https://www.tabflows.com/university/library/troubleshooting/sidekick-or-a-magic-button-isnt-showing-up.md) Start here: - [Tabflows](https://www.tabflows.com/index.md) - [Tabflows pricing](https://www.tabflows.com/pricing.md) - [Tabflows FAQ](https://www.tabflows.com/faqs.md) - [About Tabflows](https://www.tabflows.com/about.md) - [Contact Tabflows](https://www.tabflows.com/contact.md) - [DPC workflow software](https://www.tabflows.com/dpc-workflow-software.md) - [Directory](https://www.tabflows.com/directory.md) - [Workflows](https://www.tabflows.com/workflows.md) - [DPC finder](https://www.tabflows.com/dpc-finder.md) Every page listed in sitemap.xml has a markdown twin at the same URL with `.md` appended, or by sending `Accept: text/markdown` to the canonical URL.
