Update Swan

Chrome Web Store installs update through Chrome. If you are using a local dashboard checkout, keep WXT running and reload the unpacked extension only when Chrome asks for it.

Chrome Web Store install

Chrome handles updates for Web Store installs. To check the installed version manually:

1. Open chrome://extensions.
2. Find Swan.
3. Enable Developer Mode if version details are hidden.
4. Confirm Swan remains enabled.

Local dashboard checkout

If you installed from a source checkout, pull the latest changes:

git pull

If dependencies changed:

npm install

Start the local dashboard:

npm run dashboard

If Chrome asks for a manual reload:

1. Open chrome://extensions.
2. Find Swan.
3. Click the reload icon.
4. Open Swan settings and confirm your settings are still present.

Settings persistence

Swan settings live in browser extension local storage. Web Store updates and source rebuilds do not normally clear settings. Removing the extension from the browser can remove extension-local data for that profile.
