The Whatfix Store is a Chrome Store-like repository for Chrome and Edge (Chromium) extensions that reduces the time taken to update Whatfix content to a few minutes instead of a few days when using the Chrome Store extension.

The Whatfix Store extension when generated can be deployed and installed for both the Chrome and Edge (Chromium) browsers.
Extensions are hosted and served from Whatfix servers and not from the Chrome Store, making publishing content significantly faster.

Install the Whatfix Store extension
To deploy and install the Whatfix Store extension, contact support@whatfix.com.
Update content in Whatfix Store
Once the Whatfix Store extension is installed, you can manage all your content updates using the extension card without having to rerun the PowerShell script.
You don't have to manually update your Whatfix Store extension whenever you update your Whatfix content. When you push your Whatfix content and widgets to the Production stage, your Whatfix Store extension is automatically updated. For more information on how to push Whatfix content and widgets to Production, see Push Whatfix content and widgets to Production. You will receive an email once your extension is updated.
