𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁 — 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗠 𝗜𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘅, 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 Skool's own chat lives in a long sidebar list: to read a conversation you click away to a separate page, there's no way to filter or pin the threads that matter, and the search box only matches member names. Skool Chat rebuilds the whole direct-message experience as a single toolkit panel — your conversations on one side, the open chat right next to them, and everything you'd otherwise hunt for one click away. Open it from its own icon in the toolbar, where a live badge counts your unread DMs. The panel shows a compact list of every conversation — avatar, name, time of the last message, and a one-line preview, with unread threads clearly marked. Click any row and the conversation opens inline, right inside the panel, instead of throwing you out to skool.com. A back arrow returns you to the list, and you can pin the panel open so it stays put while you keep browsing Skool. Reading and writing happen in the same place. Type a message and send it with Enter — Shift+Enter for a line break — and it appears instantly while it's on its way; new incoming messages show up on their own without a refresh. The composer carries everything you need: an emoji picker that remembers your recents, a bold button for real bold text, your saved text templates, and a translate button. Attach a file with the paperclip — images, PDFs, Word, Excel, ZIP and more — or just drag it straight onto the conversation and drop it. Voice and video messages record right from the input bar. Two filters sit above the list. "Unread only" strips it down to threads you haven't read yet — invaluable in a busy inbox — and "Bookmarked only" shows just the conversations you've starred. The two combine, so you can see, say, only the unread messages among your important contacts. A star on every row bookmarks that conversation, and your bookmarks are cloud-synced — the threads you starred on your laptop are starred on your desktop too. You can mark any chat read or unread by hand, and that state stays consistent across every open tab and device.

…at least according to the Skool Extension translation. My Swiss Skoolers community is described as: Die mehrsprachige Schweizer Community für Schüler in der Schweiz Skoolers become pupils 🫣

𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿 — 𝗔 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀-𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 The Skool Toolkit has grown to over sixty features. The settings panel lists them all, but a name and a one-line description don't really show you what a feature looks like. The Guided Tour walks you through the whole toolkit step by step, right inside your own Skool community, with each feature highlighted live on the page where it actually lives. There are two versions: a Free Tour covering everything in the free tier, and a separate Premium Tour for premium features. Both launch the same way — from the green "Start Tour" button in the welcome popup, the toolbar button, or the entry at the top of the settings panel. If you exit halfway, the next time you open the tour it offers to pick up right where you left off. What sets it apart from a static screenshot tutorial is that it never leaves Skool. When the next step is a Discovery feature, the tour navigates you to Discovery. When it's a setting that only makes sense in a live call, it routes you into a call. Each step paints a green frame around the actual element being explained and dims everything else with a soft spotlight, so your eye lands exactly where it should. You see the feature in its real context with your own data — not in a mock-up. The tour card sits at the bottom of the screen and stays out of your way. It has a short title, a few bullet points, an "Enable this feature" switch for features with an on/off setting, and back/next buttons. Toggle a feature inside the card and your choice sticks — switch off Custom Tooltips mid-tour and they stay off when the tour ends. For features that depend on a list (which communities get the translate button, which languages to skip), the same picker from the settings panel is built right into the card, so you can configure as you go. A small link icon in the top-right corner opens the feature's full announcement post in a new tab if you want the deep dive. Translation steps get a clever twist. Demoing automatic translation only works if the page is in a language you don't already speak — translating English into English shows nothing. So at the Discovery step, the tour filters Discovery by a language other than yours; at the about-page step, it routes you to a foreign-language community (German by default, Italian if you already speak German). The moment you land on the step, you actually see the toolkit translating real content into your language.

#1 in the Chrome Web Store - 683 users - Tons of positive feedback So, since today's update, the Skool Extensions have slipped to number 1 in the Chrome Web Store 🥳 (currently the best browser extension for Skool) The extension is now about 2.5 months old and has taken a bombastic turn. I got so much awesome feedback from you. Thank you very much at this point 🙏 Obviously there are some functions for us on Skool that sweeten our everyday lives in the many Skool communities. And that is exactly my ultimate goal: 𝗧𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 💪🏼 Free and as simple as possible. If you would like to give something back, I would be happy if you - did recommend the extension, - rated with 5 stars in the web store - you are really active here in the community, - or simply leave me positive feedback here as a comment. At this rate, the 1,000-user limit will definitely be reached soon. As 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀, the Skool Extensions should also support us as much as possible. In the background I am constantly expanding the premium features, but the Skool automations via a workflow builder will hit the next level of this extension. I’m close to finishing my testing and should be able to publish this soon. There will be also guided tours, a full classroom and live calls for these and all the other functions. My foot is still at full throttle 🚀 --- Nr. 1 im Chrome Web Store - 683 Nutzer - Tonnenweise positives Feedback So, seit dem heutigen Update sind die Skool Extensions im Chrome Web Store auf Nummer 1 gerutscht 🥳 (aktuell beste Browser Extension für Skool) Die Extension ist jetzt ca. 2,5 Monate alt und bombastisch eingeschlagen. Ich habe so viel geniales Feedback von euch bekommen. Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle 🙏 Offensichtlich gibt es für uns auf Skool einige Funktionen, die uns unseren Alltag in den vielen Skool Communitys versüßt. Und genau das ist mein oberstes Ziel:

The last two weeks have been insane. What started as a small hobby project has turned into a 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Day by day, I’ve watched Skool Extensions become more and more powerful. Your feedback has been incredibly helpful in this process. I’m currently in a total flow state, pushing development every single day. My goal is for Skool Extensions to become a must-have for every Skooler. Naturally, I’ve been thinking about the business model. A premium version of the extension is the obvious path, but at the same time, I want to ensure a powerful free version remains available forever. On March 31st, just in time for my birthday, I will be launching Skool Extensions Premium. From that date, all 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 will be exclusive to the paid version for $𝟰𝟳/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵. There will, however, always be a 14-day free trial for these features. In addition to the recently developed Admin Features like member lists, tagging systems, sales pipelines, and CRM profiles, I’m adding extensive Skool Automations with a flexible Workflow Builder on March 31st. This tool alone is going to be massive and will take your Skool game to the next level. You won’t need any other Chrome Extension for Skool ever again. All 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀, including the community calendar, group chat, voice and video messages, bold text, bookmarks, etc. will remain 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. For you and your members. Billing for Premium will be handled automatically through this Freemium community. I’ve already set the 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 commission to 𝟮𝟬%, so inviting people to join this community for free will definitely be worth your while! --- Die letzten zwei Wochen waren der Wahnsinn. Aus einem kleinen Hobbyprojekt ist eine 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘄𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗻𝗴 geworden. Von Tag zu Tag konnte ich beobachten, wie die Skool Extensions mächtiger und mächtiger geworden sind. Euer Feedback hat dabei wahnsinnig geholfen. Ich bin gerade in einem absoluten Flow und pushe die Entwicklung jeden Tag. Skool Extensions sollen ein Must-have für jeden Skooler werden.
