Remove Snaglist

How-to

Snaglist keeps everything in one file, one element and one saved setting, so removing it leaves nothing behind.

Steps

1. Delete the <script> tag that loads snaglist.js from your pages, and any Snaglist.start() call.
2. Delete any other Snaglist code: your users' switch (Add a switch for your users) and any Snaglist. calls.
3. Delete snaglist.js and snaglist-start.js (if you made one with the set-up tool) from your site's files.
4. Remove the data-snag-private attributes. Keep the data-component attributes if they help your tests; they do nothing on their own.
5. Search your project for snaglist and snag- to check nothing is left. With Git, this command lists any file that still mentions it:

git grep -n -i -e snaglist -e "snag-"

6. Publish your site and check that Send feedback has gone.

Things to note

• Each browser that used it keeps one small setting, snaglist:off, only if the person deactivated the button. To clear it while Snaglist is still installed, run Snaglist.destroy({ forget: true }) on the page first.
• Reports already sent stay where they went: GitHub issues, emails or your server.
• To stop it for a while without removing it, read Activate or deactivate Snaglist for everyone.
