# Update GreaseClaw

> Update GreaseClaw from the Chrome Web Store, or download a release from GitHub and load it manually

GreaseClaw is a browser extension. Use either method below to get the latest version.

## Method 1: Chrome Web Store (recommended)

The easiest way to update is through the Chrome Web Store:

1. Open the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/) and search for **GreaseClaw**, or open the GreaseClaw listing if you already have it bookmarked.
2. If GreaseClaw is already installed, Chrome usually updates extensions automatically. You can also open `chrome://extensions`, enable **Developer mode**, and click **Update** to force a refresh.
3. If GreaseClaw is not installed yet, click **Add to Chrome** to install the latest version.

After the store update finishes, reload any open tabs where you use GreaseClaw.

## Method 2: GitHub Releases (manual load)

If you prefer a direct download, or the store build is not available yet:

1. Open [GitHub Releases](https://www.github.com/greaseclaw/greaseclaw/releases) and download the latest GreaseClaw extension package (zip or release asset).
2. Extract the archive to a local folder.
3. Open `chrome://extensions/` in your browser.
4. Turn on **Developer mode** (top right).
5. Click **Load unpacked** and select the extracted extension folder.
6. If an older unpacked build is already loaded, remove it first or use the extension card’s **Reload** button after replacing the files.

Your settings are usually preserved when you update in place. If something looks wrong after updating, try reloading the extension or restarting the browser.
