All the places where you can use the extension
NexoPad does not live in a single panel: each surface solves a different need.
The extension is split across several views. Understanding what each one is for saves time, because you do not need to open the full notebook for small actions or depend on the popup for deeper work.
These are the active surfaces in the current version of the extension and how it makes sense to split work between them.
Main surfaces
Popup
The fast entry point to create notes, snippets, links, automatic captures, switch workspaces, review changelog entries, and open the rest of the tools.
Side panel
Best for consulting information while staying on the current page. It brings together global search, notes, links, snippets, clips, workspace filters, and AI tools with chat and history.
Notebook
The wide editing view. It is the right place to write, format, review reminders, organize folders, and work with personal or Teams content in a more comfortable way.
Floating post-it
Opens a note as a lightweight standalone window so you can keep it visible at all times. It autosaves, shows counters, lets you copy everything, and even supports dark mode.
Omnibox and contextual actions
Type sys in the browser bar to search links, and use right click to save links or launch AI actions on selected text.
Welcome and installation
The current welcome flow guides you through pinning the extension, creating an account, trying a snippet sandbox, saving a link, creating a note, and setting shortcuts.
Protected pages and browser behavior
There are pages where the browser limits what extensions can do, such as internal pages like chrome://, extension stores, or heavily protected environments. On those pages, the side panel, visual inspector, or contextual actions may show a warning instead of normal content.
In Opera, the side panel does not always open automatically. In Firefox, some login and shortcut flows differ as well. The extension tries to detect this and show the right path, but it still helps to know that not every browser exposes exactly the same APIs.
