Settings
Open the settings
Section titled “Open the settings”Open them in either of these ways:
- The gear button at the top of the editor
- The extension’s options page (in
chrome://extensions, open Sidepad’s “Details” → “Extension options”, or right-click the Sidepad icon in the toolbar → “Options”)
The options page lets you change settings even when the editor isn’t open, or when you’re on a page where it’s hidden.
Changes are saved immediately and applied to your other open tabs. If Chrome sync is on, they’re also carried over to your other devices.
