A button will open a modal allowing users to either drag and drop an existing image or use the ‘Upload’ button to select it from a folder. After uploading, the modal will close and the fields will be prefilled. This feature is available exclusively on Chrome.</li><li>We’ve introduced a ‘Back’ button on the approval screen, allowing users to return to the send screen if they notice an issue. Previously, users could only choose between refusing and approving, which didn’t allow for edits in case of a mistake.</li><li>Chevrons have been added to onboarding screens for easier navigation through slides without waiting for automatic cycling.</li></ul><blockquote><em><strong>For a full list of changes, please see the changelog for version 1.13.0 on <a href="https://github.com/ArdentHQ/arkconnect-extension/releases/tag/1.13.0" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GitHub </a>.</strong></em></blockquote><p>To install or update ARK Connect for your browser, use the following links:</p><ul><li>Google Chrome: <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ark-connect/efcfcaonapdhdljmikbpmikhiklhfbhm?hl&#61;en" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Chrome Web Store </a></li><li>Mozilla Firefox: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ark-connect/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Firefox Browser Add-Ons </a></li></ul><p>Next week, we’ll continue addressing any outstanding issues and discuss ways to further improve the extension.</p><h2 id="header-2">ARK Scan Weekly Progress</h2><p>The ARK Scan team has entered the final stretch of internal testing for WebSockets.
