Install From Local Drive

If the Datasert team shares a beta version of Brobench for you to give it a try, it needs to be installed as Unpacked Extension. To do that, the Datasert team will share a URL to a zip file. Download and install as outlined below.

tip

If you have already installed an earlier version of Brobench from your local drive, you do not need to uninstall before installing a new version. Local versions will have label (Beta) in the version. Select the new version, browser will upgarde an existing extension to the new version.

  1. Go ahead and install the Extension from chrome webstore as explained in the previous section. We need some the config that extension sets up for local one to work.

  2. Disable the Chrome webstore extension (do not remove it).

  3. Download the Zip file from url shared by Datasert team and extract into a local directory. We recommend you copy file to <UserHomeDir>/Tools/Brobench so that you know exactly where it is. This also helps you to upgrade to a new version by overwriting files from a newer version.

  4. Copy and paste the below URL into the browser address bar. Press enter and it should show the Extensions page.

    chrome://extensions/
  5. Ensure Developer Mode is enabled

  6. Click on the Load Unpacked button and select the folder where files are extracted.

  7. It should have loaded the extension. Now navigate to any Salesforce UI and you should see the App Icon on the right side of the UI page

  8. You are good to go and use it
