Last updated on 

If you need to stay signed-in to different extension accounts for your clients, Wavebox has you covered. By locking an extension to a space, or signing-in to a different extension account for each space, you can safely work in your client accounts with zero data leakage.

🧩 Open the Extensions Menu

  • Click the puzzle piece icon in the top-right corner.
  • Click on 'Manage Extensions'

🏃 Run in all Spaces (default)

  • Find the extension in the list.
  • Look for 'Running in......'.
