How to Install the Partly Helper Sidebar - Article
The Partly Helper Sidebar is a Chrome/Edge extension.
Sidebar Summary:
It is a portable version of the Partly Repair App that sits alongside your existing workflow.
With the Sidebar, you can have the Repair App open on the right side of your screen while working in your BMS on the left.
The main benefit is that it makes it quick and easy to copy your parts sourced through Partly into your BMS, so you don’t have to enter the same information again.
If you haven't seen it yet, we also have a Training Video explaining the installation
