# Deploy the Edge Extension on Windows

## How to Deploy:

To ensure a seamless deployment of Avanoo's Edge extension, follow the guidelines as advised by Google. 

The process involves utilizing the `ExtensionInstallForcelist` `ExtensionSettings` policies, which automatically downloads and installs the specified extension for Google Chrome users in your organization and pin it to the browser.

Guidelines:

{% hint style="warning" %}
Be careful, if you already have some extension installed, please be aware that this will replace your configuration. Please insert the key after your current installation, or use Google Workspace deployment.
