Manual installation

Choose your browser

These steps use the downloaded zip above. A desktop computer is required.

Google Chrome

  1. Use the download button above, then extract the zip. On Windows, right-click it and choose “Extract All.” On Mac, double-click it. Keep the extracted folder.
  2. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome and turn on Developer mode.
  3. Choose Load unpacked and select the extracted folder that contains manifest.json. Do not select the zip file.
  4. Open Chrome’s puzzle-piece Extensions menu, pin NextStep, then click its icon.

Microsoft Edge

  1. Download and extract the same zip file. Keep the folder that contains manifest.json.
  2. Open edge://extensions in Edge and turn on Developer mode.
  3. Choose Load unpacked and select that extracted folder. Do not select the zip file.
  4. Open Edge’s Extensions menu, show NextStep in the toolbar, then click its icon.

On a work or school device, an administrator may block Developer mode or manual extensions. Ask your administrator if those controls prevent installation.

Connect your account

After installing, click the pinned NextStep icon and choose Sign in. The extension opens the NextStep website. Sign into your account there and verify your email if asked. Return to the extension icon and confirm it shows Connected before using it on a job page. If the side panel asks you to sign in, use its button there.

After installing or updating

Reload your open NextStep and job-page tabs, then click the extension icon again. For a manual update, remove the old unpacked copy at your browser’s extensions page and load the newly extracted folder. Keep only one NextStep copy enabled.

Still not connected?

Check that NextStep is enabled in your browser’s extensions page and that you are signed into the website in the same browser. If the extension asks you to sign in, use its button again. If a managed browser blocks installation, contact your administrator.
