Help

Where ENV Portal appears, and what to check when nothing happens.

ENV Portal shows up in three places: a button in your toolbar, an entry in the right-click menu, and a settings page. Writing the workspace itself has its own guide.

Would you rather have an assistant write it?
The workspace format exists as a specification, with a button that copies the whole thing. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot with two or three real addresses from your project, and it writes the JSON for you.

Spec for an assistant

The toolbar button

Press it and you get the page you are on in every environment your workspace names, grouped by environment. The path and the query come along; the host is what changes. Click a row to go there, or copy the address instead of opening it. The extension rewrites nothing until you pick a row.

The ticket field

A field at the top takes a ticket number. Some links need one: a branch deployment, or the ticket in your tracker. Those appear once you type it and stay hidden while the field is empty. When the number already sits somewhere in the address you are on, the extension fills it in.

The right-click menu

Right-click any page and "Open this page in…" lists the same links. Each entry names the environment and the address it will open, so you can pick one without opening the popup. The extension builds that menu from your saved workspaces. It never watches your tabs, which is why it never asks permission to read your browsing history.

The settings page

Your workspaces, the theme and the language all live here. The language you pick applies to the extension and to this site, so Help in German brings you to the German version of this page. To get here: right-click the toolbar icon and choose Options, or use the link at the bottom of the popup.

When no links come back

Two different problems look almost the same. If the popup says nothing matched, no workspace has a link whose host appears in the address you are on. If the popup opens but one link you expected is absent, that link needs a value the extension could not find, usually a ticket number or a language segment. The settings page can try an address and show you what each step resolved to.

Writing a workspace

A workspace is a short piece of JSON describing one project: the environments it runs in, and how their addresses relate to each other. The guide starts from the smallest one that works and builds up.

The same rules also exist as a specification you can hand to an assistant along with a few of your real addresses, and have it write the JSON for you.
