Install SHEHZADA'S FLOW in Chrome

This is a manual install. The extension is not in the Chrome Web Store, and pressing Download does not install it.

Download current version (v0.17.6)

Steps

1. Download the ZIP from GitHub.
2. Extract it. On Windows, right-click the ZIP and choose Extract All. On other systems, unzip normally.
3. Open chrome://extensions in Google Chrome.
4. Turn on Developer mode. It is meant for installing unpacked extensions.
5. Click Load unpacked.
6. Select the extracted folder that directly contains manifest.json (in the repository ZIP this is SHEHZADAS_FLOW_Extension). Do not pick the ZIP, the manifest file or a parent folder.
7. Click Chrome’s Extensions (puzzle) icon and pin SHEHZADA'S FLOW.
8. Open Google Flow, sign in and open your own project, then open the extension panel and sign up or log in.

Alternative: use Code → Download ZIP on the GitHub repository, extract it, and load the extension folder.

Chrome may warn about the debugger permission. Review permissions before installing and use only the official repository. See the privacy page.

Updating an installed extension

When a newer version is published, the extension shows an update notice at the top of its Account page and side panel, including key improvements and a download link. It never installs an update automatically.

1. Wait until no generation is running.
2. Keep the same extracted folder and replace its files with the new version.
3. Click Reload on chrome://extensions, then reload the Google Flow tab.

Loading from a different folder can give the extension a new identity and lose local queue state. Starting with v0.17, the Account page and side panel can notify you when a new release is posted; the install itself remains manual. Older versions do not have this feature and must be upgraded once manually.

Troubleshooting

• “Manifest file is missing”: you picked the wrong folder. Choose the one that directly contains manifest.json.
• Extension not visible: check it is enabled on chrome://extensions, then pin it from the puzzle icon.
• No verification email: check spam, wait a few minutes, then ask on Discord.
• Forgot your account password: open the extension Account page, click Forgot password?, request a link and set a new password on the official reset page. The link requires email delivery and expires. The website does not store your recovery session.
• Flow tab not connected: open a Google Flow project, sign in, and reload that tab.
• Generated item not found: use the manual recovery option to select the existing result.
• Verify download: compare the downloaded ZIP SHA-256 against published checksums using Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 "SHEHZADAS_FLOW_Chrome_Latest.zip" in PowerShell.
• Antivirus or download warning: the ZIP is an unsigned developer download. Only continue if you got it from the official repository.
• Expired Discord invite: open the invite again from this site, or look for the link on the GitHub page.
• Old Chrome: update Chrome. Very old versions may not support the extension.
