Using the Eden Chrome extension

Everything the Eden Chrome extension does, from the save popup and inline Save buttons to the creator sidebar and settings.

·4 min read

The extension saves pages, posts, images, and highlights to your Library or a board. It also opens a sidebar where you can study any creator's posts. New to it? Start with the quick start guide.

To get it from Eden, click your name at the bottom left, then Apps & extras → Chrome Extension. That opens its Chrome Web Store page.

The account menu at the bottom left of Eden with Apps & extras open and Chrome Extension second in the list

Save from the popup

Click the Eden icon on any page. The popup fills in the page for you.

  • In more than one workspace? The top row under Save to shows which workspace you're saving to. Click it to pick another. Brand workspaces sit under the team workspace they belong to.
  • The board row opens Choose a location. Pick Library, a board, or search your boards.
  • Reading list shows up for articles, newsletters, and YouTube links. It saves to Library to read later.
  • New board makes a board on the spot.
  • For links, Add note lets you say why you saved it, and Add tag adds tags. Your last 5 tags show under Recent at the top of the tag list.
  • Click Save to Library or Save to board to finish, or press ⌘ Enter (Ctrl Enter on Windows).

The popup remembers where you saved last, and the last board you used in each workspace.

Add a creator to a list from their profile

On a creator's profile on X, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, or Substack, click the Eden icon. The popup adds them to a creator list instead of saving the page.

  • Save to shows the last list you added someone to. Click it to pick another list or search your lists.
  • New list makes a list and picks it.
  • Click Add to list to finish.
  • Want the page as a link instead? Open the list picker and click Save as a link instead.

Lists need Starter or above.
