How to Install AutoGraw: Complete Setup Guide

This guide covers the complete setup for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and other compatible Chromium browsers. It also explains how to redeem a license, confirm that the script is running, update safely, and diagnose a missing menu without deleting your settings.

AutoGraw is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by McGraw Hill.

Before you install AutoGraw

Check these requirements first:

• A desktop or laptop running a current Chromium-based browser
• Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, or another compatible Chromium browser
• Permission to install browser extensions on the device
• Tampermonkey installed from the official store listing for your browser
• A valid AutoGraw license key for product activation
• Access to a supported McGraw Hill assignment page for the final test

Safari, Firefox, and mobile browsers are not currently listed as supported. A school-managed computer may also prevent extension installation or lock site-access settings. If the browser says it is managed by an organization, those policies can only be changed by the administrator.

Step 1: install Tampermonkey

Open the official extension store for your browser and search for Tampermonkey. Confirm the publisher and listing before installing it. Do not download a repackaged copy from a random software-download website.

After installation, pin Tampermonkey to the browser toolbar. In most Chromium browsers, click the puzzle-piece icon and then the pin beside Tampermonkey. Pinning is optional, but it makes the next steps and future troubleshooting easier.

Open the Tampermonkey dashboard once. This confirms that the extension itself loads and gives you access to the installed-scripts list.

Step 2: allow userscripts in your browser

Recent Chromium browser versions may require additional permission before userscript managers can execute installed code. The wording and exact location can vary by browser version.

In Chrome, enter chrome://extensions/ in the address bar. In Edge, use edge://extensions/. Locate Tampermonkey, open its details, and enable the option that allows userscripts if it is shown. Developer mode may also be required by the current browser configuration.

Brave and Opera use similar extension-management pages. If you do not see the same wording, open Tampermonkey's extension details and look for permissions related to user scripts or site access.

Do not grant broader access blindly to unrelated extensions. AutoGraw needs Tampermonkey to run on the supported McGraw Hill address families listed by the script, but that does not mean every browser extension needs access to every website.

Step 3: download the current AutoGraw userscript

Go to the official AutoGraw download page. The page validates your license before presenting the current download. Use the AutoGraw userscript offered there rather than an old file from a message, mirror, or previous computer.

The official script metadata points to https://autograw.com/autograw.user.js for updates and downloads. If you are viewing the file as plain code instead of seeing an installation prompt, confirm that Tampermonkey is enabled and then return to the download page.

When Tampermonkey opens its installation screen, review the script name and the matched site families. Choose Install. Afterward, open the Tampermonkey dashboard and confirm that AutoGraw appears in the installed-scripts list with its toggle enabled.

Step 4: open a supported McGraw Hill page

Launch your course the normal way. If your school connects McGraw Hill through Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, or another learning system, begin from that learning system so you enter the correct course and section.

AutoGraw targets supported pages under the McGraw Hill address families named in its userscript metadata, including mheducation.com, mcgrawhill.com, and aleks.com. It will not necessarily appear on the school portal page before the McGraw Hill content has loaded. Test it on an actual supported assignment page rather than only on the LMS dashboard.

Refresh the page after installing the script. A hard refresh—Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows or Command + Shift + R on macOS—can clear a stale page copy if the menu does not appear immediately.

Step 5: redeem your AutoGraw license

Open the account area in the AutoGraw menu, paste the license key exactly as it was delivered, and choose the redeem or activate action. Avoid adding spaces before or after the key.

The key is displayed after checkout and is also sent by email. Check the address used at checkout, then check spam or promotions folders if the email is missing. Do not post the key publicly or share it with another person; AutoGraw licenses are not intended for resale, transfer, or shared use.

Once redemption succeeds, the menu should show the active access state. Monthly access remains active for the paid billing period and renews until canceled. Lifetime access is a one-time purchase under the terms shown at checkout. The AutoGraw pricing guide explains the plan differences.

Step 6: choose your settings before starting

Do not turn on every feature at once simply because it is available. Start with the level of automation you actually want.

For a review-first workflow, enable answer assistance but leave Auto Submit and Auto Advance disabled. This allows you to inspect the prepared response and move forward manually. If a page layout is unsupported or ambiguous, Manual Fallback can pause the workflow instead of forcing an uncertain match.

If you later enable Auto Submit or Auto Advance, configure their delays separately. Also decide whether you want Save Answers, the Automation HUD, appearance options, or assignment tools. The full feature overview explains what each control is meant to do.

How to confirm AutoGraw installed correctly

A successful installation has four visible signs:

1. Tampermonkey appears in the browser's extension list and is enabled.
2. AutoGraw appears in the Tampermonkey dashboard and is enabled.
3. The AutoGraw menu loads on a supported McGraw Hill page after refresh.
4. The account area recognizes the redeemed license and displays active access.

If the first two are true but the menu is missing, the problem is usually page matching, site access, a script conflict, or an outdated file—not the license. If the menu appears but activation fails, focus on the key, network request, and account state instead.

Fix a missing AutoGraw menu

Work through this checklist in order:

1. Confirm the page. Test on a supported McGraw Hill assignment page, not only the school portal or LMS dashboard.
2. Check Tampermonkey. Confirm that both the extension and AutoGraw script toggles are enabled.
3. Check userscript permission. Reopen the browser's extension details because a browser update can change permissions.
4. Check site access. Ensure Tampermonkey is allowed to run on the current McGraw Hill domain.
5. Refresh fully. Use a hard refresh after changing permissions.
6. Check the script source. Reinstall from the official AutoGraw download page if the installed copy is old or came from elsewhere.
7. Test extension conflicts. Temporarily use a clean browser profile with only Tampermonkey and AutoGraw installed.
8. Record the evidence. Save the full page URL, browser name and version, operating-system version, AutoGraw version, and a screenshot before asking for support.

The dedicated AutoGraw not loading guide separates menu-loading, activation, and feature-level problems in more detail.

How AutoGraw updates work

Tampermonkey can check the update URL in the userscript metadata. Keep automatic update checks enabled unless you have a specific reason not to. You can also use Tampermonkey's manual update check or reinstall the current script from the official download page.

Reinstalling the current script should not be your first response to every issue. First capture the installed version and check permissions. That information makes support much easier and prevents an update from hiding the original cause.

Never install a file advertised as a cracked, unlocked, or modified AutoGraw build. Besides the license and legal issues, a modified userscript can read or alter any page for which it receives permission. Use only the official AutoGraw route.

Getting setup help

For account, key, or compatibility help, use the official AutoGraw Discord. Include the facts needed to reproduce the issue, but remove your name, student ID, course identifiers, grades, and license key from screenshots.

Support can diagnose a precise report much faster than “it does not work.” State whether the menu is missing, the key is rejected, or one specific feature fails. Those are three different problems with different fixes.
