ArcheoBase is a website that has the unique feature of being installable like an app on your tablet or computer, thanks to a technology called "Progressive Web App (PWA)".
Installation is highly recommended as it greatly improves the usability and user experience of the program on tablets. This will allow ArcheoBase to run in full screen, without the search bar, window frame, or the browser's scroll bar. The space savings are significant, navigation is greatly improved without a scroll bar, and the drawing tool cannot function properly if a scroll bar is present.
If you encounter any issues installing the app, please contact ArcheoBase Support via email.
The steps to follow are described below.
1. Update Chrome browser
