Benefits of Using the Webvizio Extension
Installing the Webvizio Chrome Extension can significantly improve the stability and performance of Webvizio projects.
- The extension allows you to work with password-protected pages of sites/web applications.
- The extension ensures your site content is displayed correctly. If your site displays incorrectly or some page elements do not appear in the regular dashboard, the extension solves this problem.
- It improves task screenshots. When you create a task, Webvizio automatically takes a screenshot. The Webvizio extension boosts the stability of this feature, as the screenshot is being taken from your actual screen, instead of emulating a browser view on the Webvizio’s side.
- It increases the speed of loading tabs. When you install the extension, Webvizio no longer creates a copy of your website page for Webvizio to display, instead, your website is used directly. Thus, the speed of loading tabs is limited only by the speed of loading the pages of your site.
How to Work With The Extension
The Webvizio extension does not have its own interface and starts working immediately after installation and activation. The only thing you need to do to use the extension is to go to the project settings and check the box “Enable Chrome Extension”.
Important: Please note that after you enable the project mode through the extension, all users who work with this project will have to install the extension.

Working with Password-protected Website Pages and Web Applications
To be able to work with password-protected pages or applications, follow the steps to set it up:
1. Find the Webvizio extension in the Chrome Web Store through search or the project settings menu > Download Extension for Chrome button
2. Install Webvizio Chrome Extension
3. Activate the Webvizio extension in the Chrome browser
4. Open the project you want to work on and enable the extension through the extension interface.
6. Log in to the site or application you want to work on in the same browser session.
☝️Important! You must log in to your web application through your Chrome browser first (not the Webvizio interface, but directly on the page of your site or application), after that the password-protected pages will become available in Webvizio.
7. Add the URL of the password-protected page/application to the Webvizio project. For example, if you want to work on the application interface in Webvizio, you need to add a page leading to user authentication. For example, to work on the WordPress admin panel https://yousite.com/wp-admin. If the page has already been added, just update it through the interface.
