# Setup and configuration

> Set up the Jam extension and control where it runs: specific sites, local files, and incognito windows.

Install the Jam extension once, then control exactly where it runs: every site or just a few, local files, and incognito windows.

## Install the extension

Install Jam from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/jam/iohjgamcilhbgmhbnllfolmkmmekfmci). The same extension works across all supported Chromium browsers. See [Browser support](/docs/browser-support) for the full compatibility list.

After installing, pin Jam to your browser toolbar so it's always one click away.

## Site access

By default, Jam runs on all websites. To restrict it:

  <Step title="Open Chrome extensions">
    Enter `chrome://extensions` in your URL bar and press Enter.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Jam extension details">
    Click **Details** for the Jam extension.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Switch to specific-site access">

    Add `https://*.jam.dev/*` and click **Add**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add any other URLs you want Jam to run on">
    Use **Add a new page** to include additional websites.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Re-enable on all sites later">
    To re-enable Jam everywhere, change **Site access** back to **On all sites**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Local files

Annotate and share feedback on any file type (JPG, PDF, HTML) by opening it in your browser.

### Incognito FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does incognito mode affect the quality of bug reports?">
    No. You get the same data collection in incognito mode, including full network logs, console output, and device information.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use Jam in incognito mode without enabling this setting?">
    No. Browser security policies require explicit permission for extensions to run in private browsing modes.
