Annotate PRO Beta Versions

You can gain instant access to the latest AP beta by:

1. Joining the AP Chrome Beta Google Group
   Important: you can join the Google Group with an email address different than the one you use with AP if you log into AP with a username and password. If you use Google single-sign on, you’ll need to join the Google Group with that same account.
2. Visiting this private link in the Google Chrome Webstore to install the latest beta just like any other Extension.

You’ll only be able to get to step 2 if you complete step 1.

FAQ:

• What’s NEW in the beta?
  • Add a new comment directly from the toolbar. Click on the + icon at the top of toolbar and it will open a box to add a new comment. Or click the Edit menu in the AP popup and choose New Comment. Instead of waiting to be taken to the web editor, you’ll immediately get a popup to craft your expert feedback. As an added bonus, AP will remember your last choice of Library and Group to speed entry.
  • Improved support for Brightspace (D2L) and Schoololgy.
  • New Checklists feature added. Checklists will require an AP+ subscription OR an institutional license after July 1, 2023. But they’re free until then for everyone!
  • The extension’s branding now matches our new logo and color scheme for 2023.
• Will I see my regular AP content (that I’ve worked so hard to create!)?
  • Absolutely. The beta version connects to the same database as the regular version of AP.
• How do I provide feedback, report issues, ask questions?
  • Send any feedback/bugs/questions to info@11trees.com. For bugs/issues/ideas, include screenshots and steps to reproduce (if possible). We regularly provide individuals with a year’s access to all paid features and content as a small “thank you” for finding bugs and providing feedback on AP.
• Why doesn’t ALT-A work anymore to open AP?
  Using ALT-A to open AP from ANY webpage is one of our best features. Switching between production and beta versions of AP can confuse Chrome and you may need to manually specify the keyboard shortcut to get it working. Here’s how:
  1. Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
  2.  Click the ‘X’ in the Annotate PRO section.
  3. Click into the entry area and type “ALT-A” (both keys at the same time).
  4. Try it! AP should be back in business with the shortcut.
• How do I get updates to the beta?
  • If you have the beta installed you’ll get automatic updates to the beta just like the production version of AP.
• Can I keep the production version of AP installed while I use the beta?
  • You can happily run both the production version of AP and the beta at the same time. Make sure to disable production if using the beta and vice versa. Visit chrome://extensions/ and toggle one of your APs off or uninstall the production version of AP. In the screenshot below we have toggled ON the AP beta (6.2.b) and toggled OFF the production version.
