There may be a simple solution to my problem - None of the extra Scripts, Smart Rules or Templates are installing in my newly purchased 4 Beta. A search of topics doesn’t indicate my problem is a problem for others. I would be grateful if someone could point me to a solution. I have DTP 3 Pro installed as well. Thanks.

You can go, in DT 4, to DEVONthink → Install Add-Ons…
As to having DT 3 also "installed” do make sure you read the [warning here](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/read-me-running-the-devonthink-4-beta/82600) if you have not already done so.

I wrote Jim and asked the same thing: here is his reply to me regarding the Chrome “Clip to Devonthink” addon no longer working in Beta 1.
Me: I have not had the opportunity to read through the entire new User Manual for the beta version; this question has to do with it however.
Both the Chrome Bookmarklets and the Chrome based ‘Clip to DT” addons are still pointing to DT3. Since I have not removed DT3 that is fine, but am I missing something or are these not going to be operational until the public release of Version 4?
Should add I did pay the upgrade and install the beta version.
Jim’s Reply: Dear Jenna,
Thanks for the question!
I would recommend reinstalling the browser extensions.

Hi,
I have no problems with the clippers but the extra scripts don’t install for me when I click them in DEVONthink → Install Add-Ons.
Best regards,

Have you given DEVONthink **Full Disk Access** in **System Settings \> Privacy & Security**?

Thanks Stephen. I had previously installed the extras as you had pointed out but I am referring to the additional scripts, etc from the drop-down Menu. Each one of the many has an individual ‘install’ and once installed, this reverts to ‘uninstall’. At the foot of the page, there is a selection box to have them all install automatically. This doesn’t work for me either, when selected.
I did attempt to install DTP4 in a separate user account but not successfully as an Administrator - I will try again. It is something I haven’t done before. Is Bullfrog saying to move the DEVONthink app into the Applications folder of the secondary user account? Or is there a process for doing a complete install in that account? I am surprised I don’t know this process.

Yes, BLUEFROG is saying to put DEVONthink 4 in the **Applications** folder in the new/secondary macOS user account. Drag and drop the app to that folder and launch it. That’s all the installation that’s required for testing DEVONthink 4 in this manner.
Regarding installing the Extras, it appears there may be a disconnect from our server. Development will have to look into it.

Thanks Bullfrog! Will do. I have given full access to Devonthink but still no change to the install of the extra scripts. Appreciate the help.

Dear microcloth - please note it’s Bluefrog, not Bullfrog 🙂

Now it has. Thanks!
Installing the Extra Scripts found in the sidebar under Support does not work though. I think that the scripts are put in ‘/Library/Application Scripts/com.devon-technologies.think3’ and not in ‘/Library/Application Scripts/com.devon-technologies.think’
I have uninstalled DT 3 but maybe it is not “completely forgotten”. Can I simply move the scripts to their correct place?
Best regards,
Björn

The installation of the extras seems to be broken unfortunately, we’re investigating this.

The installation should now work again.

These smart rules aren‘t part of DEVONthink 4 anymore, versioning is now a built-in feature.
