Frequently Asked Questions

How often does ChatGPT Toolbox release updates?

We typically release major feature updates monthly (versions like 2.8.0, 2.9.0) and minor bug fixes or improvements every 1-2 weeks (versions like 2.8.1, 2.8.2). Critical security patches are released immediately as needed. All users receive updates automatically through the Chrome Web Store.

Will my data be affected by updates?

No. All ChatGPT Toolbox updates are designed to be backward-compatible with your existing data. Your folders, pins, saved prompts, and settings are automatically migrated to new versions. We test extensively before each release to ensure zero data loss. As an extra precaution, we recommend using the bulk export feature monthly to create local backups.

How do I know when a new version is released?

Chrome automatically updates extensions in the background, usually within 24-48 hours of release. You'll see a notification in ChatGPT Toolbox highlighting new features after an update. To receive email notifications about major releases, subscribe to our changelog updates at the top of this page or join our subreddit.

Can I roll back to a previous version?

While Chrome doesn't officially support version rollback, we maintain stability across updates to minimize the need for rollbacks. If you encounter a critical bug after an update, please contact our support team at [email protected] immediately. We typically release hotfix patches within 24 hours for critical issues.

Do free and paid users get the same updates?

Yes. All users receive the same core feature updates, bug fixes, and performance improvements regardless of plan. The only differences between plans are device sync (Personal/Pro) and priority support (Pro). We believe in providing a comprehensive free experience while offering optional premium features for power users.

What happened to feature X from the changelog?

Occasionally, we deprecate or significantly rework features based on usage data and feedback. Deprecated features are always replaced with better alternatives and documented in release notes. If a feature you relied on was changed or removed, please reach out to support—we're happy to explain the reasoning and suggest alternative workflows.

How can I test beta features before official release?

Pro plan users receive early access to beta features through our Beta Testing Program. Join our subreddit and look for beta testing announcements, or email [email protected] with "Beta Tester" in the subject line to express interest.

Are there breaking changes I should know about?

We avoid breaking changes whenever possible. If a major architectural change affects your workflow, we provide advance notice (minimum 30 days), migration guides, and backward compatibility during transition periods. Breaking changes are clearly marked in release notes with "BREAKING CHANGE" labels and detailed upgrade instructions.
