How to update Chartbuddy.

Chrome usually updates Chartbuddy automatically in the background. After a browser restart, you should be on the latest version without doing anything.

If you still see an old version, or Chartbuddy is not working as expected, you can force an update manually.

Manual update steps

Step 1: Open Manage extensions

In Chrome, click the puzzle piece icon next to the toolbar, then click Manage extensions.
