Instructions:

Script added in the footer

What You Get With the Script

• Works on any platform
• Loads Atarim on the actual live page, not a proxy
• Supports collaboration on login-required content only if the user is already logged in

Note: The script allows you to collaborate on secured areas of the website, ensuring comprehensive feedback across all site sections.

Method 4: Using the Chrome Extension

The Atarim Chrome Extension enhances your collaboration experience across all methods by allowing real-time feedback directly on any website.

Instructions:

1. Install the Atarim Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Visit the website you want to collaborate on and click the Atarim extension icon.
3. You can now add comments or collaborate directly on the site without needing to log into Atarim.

Note: For users who don’t have the Chrome extension installed and want to collaborate on the same project, collaboration will take place via URL-based access. This means tasks, pages, and comments will be mirrored 1-to-1 on the URL, ensuring consistency across the project.

Tip: Use the Chrome Extension when collaborating on pages that require authentication, load dynamic content, or block external requests. The extension attaches directly to your live browsing session, ensuring everything loads exactly as it should.
