▶️ Deploying the CyberNut Chrome Extension for Gmail


The CyberNut extension is an additional feature that adds Chip, the blue squirrel button, to more visible locations to help users report suspicious emails. The updated extension adds the Chip icon in three additional locations.

The first is located as a quick action in your list of emails.

 

The second is located at the top ribbon of an email.



The third icon is a floating icon to place wherever you like. It can be moved around to any position needed and will remain there each time an email is opened to make it convenient to report any suspicious emails. 

Note: Your Tech Admin must enable the floating icon feature in CyberNut.

Keep in mind this extension only works in Chrome when the user is logged in with their school Chrome profile.
