We recommend choosing **Force Install + pin to browser toolbar**.

Make sure you leave version pinning on **Not pinned**. If you choose to pin it, the extension will not auto-update. **Please note:** Sometimes the extension will not auto-update in a timely manner for a variety of reasons. Because of this we recommend that you allow your faculty and staff the ability to enable developer mode so they can manually update the extension. [HERE are directions](https://knowledge.mobilemind.io/how-can-our-google-admin-allow-faculty-and-staff-to-enable-developer-mode-to-manually-update-the-extension?hsLang=en) for making sure they will be able to do this. ![8- version](https://knowledge.mobilemind.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Extension%20images/Force%20Install/8-%20version.png?width=688&height=388&name=8-%20version.png) 8.  Click **Save** in the upper right of this page.
