You can update manually by going to “chrome://extensions”, turning on developer mode, and clicking Update!

🧭 navigation and layout

• clicking the bettercampus logo now opens our home screen (click again to close it)

🎨 themes and appearance

• new system theme option for dark and light (follow your device theme)

• improved contrast for settings menus in light and dark mode so switches are easier to see

• updated toolbar and floating bottom bar to match our latest designs

• theme and preferences now open in a floating view and can shrink the home screen instead of feeling like a totally separate space

📅 planner, calendar, and tasks

• assignments are now color coded on calendar view so you can scan faster

• calendar month view is cleaned up and matches the rest of the planner

• planner view and due view both got ui fixes so scrolling, boxes, and spacing feel more natural

• planned task checkboxes are clearer, and you can unplan events properly

🎓 grades and classes

• grade calculations are more accurate and grade scaling bugs are fixed

• school grading system links now work

• clicking your grade in the top left opens our detailed grade page for that class

• from grades, you can jump into our assignment editor or open the original canvas assignment in one click

• class time updates now save correctly instead of keeping the old time

• weighted gpa now shows a tooltip that reminds you to mark honors or ap classes individually

📝 notes and content

• fixed a major issue where notes could duplicate, overwrite, or delete other notes

• “card images” are now called “card visuals” to better match how they are used

• improved “blocked on school wifi” screen with clearer next steps and a one-click email to ask for bettercampus to be unblocked

🧩 chrome and canvas behavior

• if you hide the bettercampus logo from the canvas sidebar, we now walk you through pinning it from the chrome puzzle icon so you do not lose it

• when you click the extension from the chrome puzzle menu on a non canvas site, we tell you to head to canvas instead of doing nothing

• fixed a bug where reloading or duplicating a tab on a bettercampus page inside canvas could break the page

• improved behavior on chromebooks where the popup sometimes would not open correctly

• better support for schools with non standard canvas urls so the extension works in more places

🧼 general polish

• footer with socials, version, and help appears on more pages

• discussion links now go to the correct discussions page instead of assignments

• notifications show up in the right places instead of random popups

• lots of small ui and scrolling fixes across planner, grades, sidebar, and settings
