Configure ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome Extension Settings

The ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome extension gives you powerful AI features directly in your browser, and understanding its settings helps you control how information is captured, stored, and suggested while you work.

This how-to guide walks you through every major configuration option in the extension so you can adjust privacy, content capture, autosave behavior, and advanced features with confidence.

Open the ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome extension

Before you change any settings, make sure the extension is installed and enabled in your Chrome browser.

1. Click the puzzle piece icon in the Chrome toolbar to open the extensions menu.

2. Select Brain MAX from the list.

3. In the extension panel, click the three-dot menu or settings icon to open the main settings area.

Once the settings panel is open, you can adjust how the extension behaves inside ClickUp and on other websites you use.

Manage ClickUp privacy and domain controls

The extension includes controls that determine which domains are allowed, how suggestions appear, and what data can be captured.

Allow or block domains for ClickUp Brain MAX

Use the domain permissions section to decide where the extension can operate.

1. In the settings panel, locate the section for Allowed Domains or Site Permissions.

2. Add domains where you want the extension to read content and provide suggestions, such as your most-used web apps and documentation tools.

3. Remove domains that should never be read by the extension, such as personal or sensitive websites.

By fine-tuning allowed domains, you limit which pages are analyzed before information is suggested back into ClickUp tasks, docs, and other items.

Control smart suggestions in ClickUp

Smart suggestions help surface relevant information from the pages you visit. You can decide how aggressively the extension suggests content.

1. Find the Suggestions or Smart Recommendations section of the settings.

2. Use the toggles to turn suggestions on or off for supported fields inside ClickUp.

3. Optionally, reduce the number or frequency of suggestions if you prefer a cleaner interface.

These options let you keep suggestions focused on genuinely useful context rather than showing hints everywhere you type.

Configure ClickUp memory and autosave behavior

One of the most important aspects of the Brain MAX Chrome extension is how it remembers and stores content from your browsing sessions. Carefully configuring memory and autosave helps you keep only what you need inside ClickUp.

Enable or disable automatic saving to ClickUp

Automatic saving controls whether the extension turns what you view or write into knowledge that can be reused later.

1. In the settings window, open the Memory or Autosave section.

2. Turn the autosave toggle on if you want the extension to capture key information from supported websites and tools.

3. Turn the toggle off if you prefer to manually choose what gets stored in your workspace.

When autosave is enabled, summaries and content can appear as references inside ClickUp, giving you quick context while working on tasks and docs.

Choose what the extension remembers

You can refine which types of information are stored by the extension.

• Limit memory to specific websites where you perform research or manage customer conversations.

• Exclude pages that contain sensitive or personal data.

• Set whether short snippets, full summaries, or only key points are stored.

These options help you maintain a clean, relevant knowledge base inside ClickUp, without clutter from every page you visit.

Adjust ClickUp interface and workspace options

The Brain MAX Chrome extension can change how certain interface elements appear when you are working in ClickUp, giving you more tailored control over your workspace view.

Toggle ClickUp inline tools from the extension

Inline tools may include quick actions that appear when you highlight text or open editor areas.

1. Open the Interface or In-app Tools section of the settings.

2. Use toggles to show or hide inline actions provided by the extension when you work in the editor or on task pages.

3. Apply different settings for tasks, docs, or comments if these options are available.

Customizing inline tools lets you declutter the workspace while still having AI assistance reachable when you need it.

Control ClickUp notifications from the extension

Notifications can alert you when new knowledge is created or when the extension detects something useful.

1. Navigate to the Notifications settings area.

2. Choose whether to receive browser notifications when new memory items are added or suggestions are ready in ClickUp.

3. Adjust sound and display options if they are supported by your browser settings.

Fine-grained notification controls ensure that you only receive alerts that are actionable and relevant to your current work.

Use advanced ClickUp Brain MAX settings

Advanced options let you refine how the extension interacts with AI services and how it syncs with your ClickUp workspace.

Update workspace connection for ClickUp

If you work in multiple workspaces, ensure the extension is connected to the right one.

1. Locate the Workspace or Account section inside the settings panel.

2. Verify that the currently connected ClickUp workspace is correct.

3. If needed, sign out or switch to another workspace using the provided account controls.

Keeping the correct workspace connected ensures that captured memories, summaries, and suggestions appear where your team actually works.

Review data usage and privacy options

The advanced section usually includes important privacy controls.

• Review what data the extension can read from your browser tabs.

• Check how long information is retained and where it is stored inside ClickUp.

• Disable any data collection options that do not align with your organization’s policies.

These settings help you comply with internal security requirements while still benefiting from browser-based intelligence.

Troubleshoot ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome behavior

If the extension does not behave as expected inside ClickUp or on other websites, you can often resolve the issue through a few basic checks.

Verify permissions and refresh ClickUp

1. Open Chrome’s Extensions page at chrome://extensions.

2. Make sure the Brain MAX extension is enabled and has permission to access the sites you use most often.

3. Return to ClickUp, refresh the page, and test whether suggestions, autosave, or inline tools appear as configured.

If you recently changed domain or privacy settings, a refresh is often required before the new configuration takes effect.

Reset or reconfigure the extension

When settings become confusing or behavior feels inconsistent, resetting can help.

1. Open the extension settings panel.

2. Look for a Reset or Restore Defaults option.

3. Confirm the reset, then reapply your preferred domain, memory, and interface settings.

After resetting, test the extension again in ClickUp to confirm everything works the way you expect.
