Set an app as the default for a file extension on your OS
Hi Everyone,
We've recently launched an update to Hero that gives you the ability to set Progressive Web Apps as the default app for different types of files on your computer’s operating system. Once you've enabled this feature, anytime you open a file of that type it will automatically open with the Progressive Web App you've selected.
In order to change the default app for different types of files on your computer’s operating system, please follow the steps below based on which operating system you use.
