As part of our ongoing effort to streamline the Seismic Enablement Cloud platform and consolidate our product offerings, we are sunsetting the following features on June 28, 2024:
Seismic Learning Chrome Web Widget
The web widget is a legacy feature very like the Chrome browser extension
These features are being replaced by Seismic’s browser extension for Chrome and Edge. Read on for more information about leveraging the new browser extension.
How will the user experience change leading up to the sunset date?
Beginning May 31, 2024, new users will not be able to install the Seismic Learning Chrome browser extension from the Chrome Web Store.
On June 28, 2024, the option to configure URL mappings for the Seismic Learning Chrome browser extension will be removed from Seismic Learning's settings menu.
Additionally, users will not be able to use the extension or web widget if these were previously installed. Proactive lesson recommendations will no longer appear, and users will see an error message if they attempt to search within the extension. We can't uninstall the browser extension on your behalf, but we recommend that you uninstall the extension to prevent or mitigate end-user confusion.

After you're upgraded, your users will be able to install and use the extension.

Extension functionality differs depending on which Seismic Enablement Cloud products your company uses. Seismic Learning alone has the functionality outlined in the table above.
