# How to Update the Clearplay Chrome Extension

Generally, you do not need to update the Clearplay extension manually. Chrome automatically checks for updates every few hours and installs any updates as needed.

If we have released a new version of our extension, and you want to update it immediately, please use the following steps:

**Step 1**

Click on the Google Chrome **puzzle piece extension icon**. Click **Manage Extensions**.

**Step 2**

Click on **Developer Mode**.

**Alternative**

If you are not comfortable enabling Dev mode, you can also manually remove the Clearplay extension and re-add it. Re-adding the extension to Chrome will add the latest version of the extension to your browser.

**Step 1 - Remove Clearplay**

Right-click on the Clearplay icon and select **Remove from Chrome**. Then click the **Remove** button.
