When Read&Write for Google Chrome is added to your Chrome profile, the permissions page should appear first time you try to use Read&Write for Google Chrome on the web, Google Slides or Google Docs.
If permissions for Read&Write haven't been fully granted or canceled, the purple puzzle piece icon
to the right of the Chrome address bar may not appear or be greyed out.
If the purple puzzle piece icon and tab appear and the toolbar doesn't open in a Google Doc, Slide or web page, it's also likely that the permissions page was canceled, closed, or not accepted.
