XPE TimeSense Research · Chrome extension 0.5.3 private preview

Before you begin
You need an authorised team account on a portal with a valid signed staging authorisation. Installing the extension does not create an account or start monitoring. Ask your portal administrator for appropriate time access and matter allocation. The extension is in private preview and is not yet publicly released in the Chrome Web Store.
Connect your browser
- Open your firm’s authorised HTTPS portal and the extension.
- Confirm the portal address and choose Connect browser. Grant access only to the intended portal.
- Approve the temporary connection code in the portal’s XPE TimeSense connection screen.
- Return to the extension and choose Check approval.
If authorisation is unavailable, expired or untrusted, ask your administrator to check it. Do not bypass the warning or enter credentials into another domain. A copied logo is not verification. A changed firm identity requires a fresh connection.
Start, pause and review research
- Open the research tab you intend to capture.
- Read the disclosure, choose any optional matching/heading settings and explicitly select Start.
- Close the popup and keep the approved research tab focused. The first upload normally takes about 30–60 seconds of eligible focused activity.
- Use Pause to stop. Review and correct activity in the portal before any separate time-draft action.
Switching tabs, losing focus, idle/lock conditions, navigation or delayed sampling can interrupt counting. Each session expires after 15 minutes. Start again to approve a changed page. A match does not prove work or billability. Nothing is billed automatically.
Optional matching and PDFs
Topics, main headings, selected-text matching and private document links are optional. Read each disclosure before enabling it. Selected-text matching runs locally; previewed matched terms can be shared with a capture. Editable form fields are excluded. Document linking identifies one supported document and needs your confirmation; it does not scan an entire mailbox or cloud account.
Browser restrictions may prevent reading protected PDF text or headings. Local PDFs may need Chrome’s file-access permission. If capture is unavailable, use an appropriate supported tab or ask support; do not weaken browser security settings.
If capture is not appearing
- Check that the browser connection is approved and the portal’s authorisation is valid.
- Return to the same research tab and keep Chrome focused and your computer active.
- Confirm you selected Start and the 15-minute session has not expired.
- If you navigated, review the page and start again.
- Check your connection. If the offline queue is full, reconnect before continuing.
- Restarting the browser clears its session state, so reconnect afterwards.
Disconnect, revoke or request deletion
Disconnect clears the local session and attempts to revoke the connection. If the portal is unreachable, revoke that browser from the portal as well. Removing portal permission clears local credentials and pending activity. Removing the extension does not erase previously synced records. Discard changes a record’s status rather than deleting it.
Email us for access, correction, deletion or retention questions. We will verify identity and authority before disclosing or changing records. See the Privacy Policy for raw activity expiry, separate matching records, historical backups and retention exceptions.
Report a problem safely
Include the extension version, Chrome version, operating system, approximate time and timezone, what you expected, what happened and a redacted screenshot if useful. Do not email passwords, bearer tokens, connection codes, client documents or confidential matter details. We do not currently promise round-the-clock support or a fixed response time.
