❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why aren't my keyboard shortcuts working?
A: Make sure you're on a WorkVivo chat page (URL contains workvivo.com/chat). Windows users should check their modifier key setting in Options. Try refreshing the page if shortcuts stop working.
Q: How do I see all my pinned chats?
A: Pinned chats appear in a horizontal carousel at the very top of your WorkVivo chat sidebar. Scroll left/right or use the arrow buttons if you have many pinned chats.
Q: Does search work offline?
A: Yes! The Smart Database stores user data locally for 30 days. You can search cached users even when offline or when WorkVivo APIs are slow. However, you need to be online to open chats.
Q: Is my chat content being collected?
A: No, absolutely not. The extension only caches user names and IDs for search purposes. No chat messages, content, or personal information is ever collected or transmitted.
Q: How do I disable analytics?
A: Go to Options (right-click extension icon → Options), scroll to "Analytics & Privacy" at the bottom, and toggle off "Usage Analytics" and "Device & Location Data". Changes apply immediately.
Q: Can I use this on mobile?
A: This is a Chrome extension designed for desktop browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.). It's not available for mobile apps. Keyboard shortcuts obviously won't work on touch devices.
Q: How do I report bugs or request features?
A: Email the developer at j6workz@gmail.com with details about your issue or feature request. Include your extension version (found in Options) and browser information.
Q: What's the Smart Database cache hit rate mean?
A: This percentage shows how many searches are served from your local database vs. API calls. Higher is better - 95%+ means almost all searches are instant (< 10ms) without hitting WorkVivo servers.
