Understanding Icon Changes and Sign-In Prompts in your Chrome extensions

What You Might Notice

You might be worried that the extensions on Chrome might look different than "usual" or that clicking it asks you to sign in. This is normal:

  1. The extension icon might look different
    • Example of how the extension might look when you first access it
    • How the extension will look after it recognizes your school
  2. You might see a "Sign in" message when clicking the extension
    • Trying to use your school-provided credentials and sign in doesn't work
    • This message is unexpected, you don't have to sign into anything
    • You can ignore this message

Why Does This Happen?

The extension needs to recognize your school's email address to show your school's version of the icon. When you're on a new campus, taking a little extra time to recognize this correctly is normal, and you'll see a different icon during this time.

Is Everything Working Correctly?

The different icons (either a picture of "Einstein" or not) and the sign-in prompt aren't a problem! If this is the change, then the extension is working exactly as it should. This difference may show when the extension needs time to recognize which school you're from. This happens often with new campuses, and it's completely normal.

However, seeing a different color in the bottom right (there is usually a purple dot there, but now it's orange/green/red) means it won't work correctly!

Important: Color Indicators

The LearnWithAI extension uses color indicators to show status:

  • **Purple Dot**: Normal operation.
  • **No dot or an Orange/Green/Red dot**: Indicates a possible issue.

If you notice the dot is no longer purple, try turning your device off and on again. If the issue persists, please contact us for assistance.

Technical Background

  • Icon changes occur when student emails are from domains not yet in the recognized list
  • Common with new campuses or domain changes
  • The current recognized domains include: 'alpha.school', 'esports.school', etc.

Required Actions

  1. Verify Operation
  2. Domain Processing
    • Review previous tickets for the domain
    • Post in "Alpha CS - Agents":
      • Domain name
      • Brief observation

Escalation Guide

Escalate only for functionality issues. Icon changes alone do not require escalation.
