My extension did not update automatically. How do I update it to the latest version?

We regularly update the Lean Library extension in order to keep improving it for our users with new features and developments. Whilst the extension is developed so that it updates itself automatically when a new version rolls out, it sometimes takes a bit of time. If you'd like to manually update the extension, please follow the steps below.
​

Update the extension manually

If there's a new version of the browser extension, you'll need to update it from there.

Microsoft Edge & Safari

In Microsoft Edge and Safari there is, unfortunately, no option to manually update the extension. The extension should update itself automatically when loading the browser after the update.

If for some reason it still doesn't update itself, please download the new version from:
