I don' get how to use it? When I open a course in Canvas and click on this extension, it takes me straight to this page on the Web Store. Permissions are enabled. What am I doing wrong? :(

Went out of my way to give a great review on this marvellous creation. Thanks to you I didn't have to download 43 lesson files from Canvas one by one per module. 1 click, and it's done.
