How Can We Help?

1. Installation

After installing SmartTab from the Chrome Web Store:

1. Click the SmartTab icon in your Chrome toolbar
2. If you don't see it, click the puzzle icon and pin SmartTab
3. Grant the necessary permissions when prompted
4. Start browsing - SmartTab will automatically save your history

2. Basic Features

Essential features to get you started:

• Search: Type in the search box to find any website instantly
• Favorites: Click the star icon to save important pages
• Groups: Switch to group view to see sites organized by domain
• Recently Closed: Restore tabs you accidentally closed
• Themes: Press 1-6 to switch between themes

3. Keyboard Shortcuts

Master SmartTab with these shortcuts:

• Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + H - Open SmartTab
• Ctrl/Cmd + F - Toggle favorites
• Ctrl/Cmd + S - Selection mode
• Arrow Keys - Navigate results
• Enter - Open selected item
• Escape - Clear search

❌ SmartTab isn't saving my history

1. Check if you've reached the 25-domain limit (free version)
2. Ensure SmartTab has permission to access your browsing history
3. Try disabling and re-enabling the extension
4. Check if you're browsing in Incognito mode (history isn't saved there)

❌ Search results are not showing

1. Clear the search box and try again
2. Check if a time filter is limiting your results
3. Make sure you're not in a filtered view (favorites, recently closed)
4. Try searching with fewer words or partial matches

❌ Extension is running slowly

1. Use the cleanup feature to remove old history
2. Close some tabs if you have many open
3. Update Chrome to the latest version
4. Disable other extensions that might conflict

❌ Favorites aren't syncing

1. Enable sync in SmartTab settings
2. Make sure you're signed into Chrome
3. Check Chrome's sync settings (chrome://settings/sync)
4. Wait a few minutes - sync can take time
