You'll learn how to: Make the Nynch Chrome extension icon visible in your Chrome toolbar so you can click it directly instead of digging through the puzzle-piece menu.
Time: 30 seconds, one time.
Prereqs: The Nynch extension is installed. See Install the Nynch Chrome extension if you haven't yet.
Steps
- In Chrome, look at the top-right corner. You'll see a puzzle-piece icon (Chrome's extension menu) next to the address bar.
- Click the puzzle-piece icon.
- A dropdown shows every installed extension.
- Find Nynch in the list.
- Next to it, click the pin icon (looks like a small thumbtack). It toggles between unpinned (faded) and pinned (highlighted).
- The Nynch icon now appears in your Chrome toolbar permanently.
That's it. No restart needed.
Why pin it
When the extension is unpinned, you click the puzzle-piece icon every time you want to open Nynch from a LinkedIn page or to check a contact's quick context. Pinning saves you one click hundreds of times.
The pinned icon also shows status indicators (badge counts, sign-in state) that aren't visible from inside the puzzle-piece menu.
Drag to reorder
Once pinned, you can drag the Nynch icon left or right to position it next to other pinned extensions. Common pattern: keep Nynch on the far-right so it's right next to the address bar.
Unpin
Same flow. Click the puzzle-piece icon, find Nynch, click the pin icon again to unpin. The icon moves back into the puzzle-piece menu.
Right-click menu
Right-click the pinned Nynch icon to see:
- Open Nynch (opens app.nynch.com in a new tab).
- Options (extension settings, usually empty for the Nynch extension since it's configured via the Nynch web app).
- Remove from Chrome (uninstalls the extension entirely; don't click by accident).
- Pin / Unpin.
If something goes wrong
- Symptom: "Puzzle-piece icon isn't there." → Fix: Some Chrome themes hide it. Click the three-dot menu (further right) → More tools → Extensions. The extensions page lets you manage pins too.
- Symptom: "Pin icon won't click." → Fix: Your Chrome may be on a corporate / managed install that locks extension pinning. Ask IT.
- Symptom: "I pinned but the icon isn't showing." → Fix: Your toolbar may have run out of horizontal space. Drag the address bar smaller or remove a different pinned extension to make room.
- Symptom: "I'm using Edge / Brave / Arc, not Chrome." → Fix: Chromium-based browsers have the same puzzle-piece menu, in the same place. The flow is identical.
