Install & update assistantPage annotation · text highlighter · v0.10.5
Highlight and review text on any web page. All annotations, vocabulary, and review progress stay in local browser storage; move data between browsers with an offline JSON package.
Recommended: install with the assistant
- macOS: select Macintosh HD in the PKG installer (this screen selects a disk only). When finished, open Page Annotator Installer from Finder → Applications to choose the extension folder. Windows: unzip the assistant and run its installer.
- Choose a location. The assistant downloads, verifies and extracts the extension automatically. No extension ID to copy.
- Follow the illustrated guide: enable Developer mode in Chrome / Edge and load the prepared extension folder.
For later updates, click Update in the extension. Backup and installation are automatic; restart the browser when finished. Existing users should select the original folder without uninstalling.
The macOS package is Developer ID signed and Apple notarized. Windows code signing and device testing remain pending; SmartScreen warnings may appear.
Previously installed from a ZIP?
Previously installed from an extracted ZIP? Update is available and the assistant can connect: select the original extension folder. You do not need to reinstall or load the extension again. No Update entry, or the assistant says the old release is unsupported: expand “Alternative: download the extension ZIP manually” on the website. Extract it and copy its contents over the original extension folder, replacing matching files. Keep the original path; do not nest another folder inside it. Reload the existing extension from your browser’s extensions page and approve any newly requested permissions. Then run the assistant, select the same folder, and reconnect from the extension’s Update page. This manual update is only needed once. Do not uninstall the extension or clear browser data. The selected folder must directly contain manifest.json .
