Hello,

I am very new to Anki, and recently installed the Heatmap Addons. When I tried to change the color scheme, I was able to open the “review heatmap settings” tab and change the color scheme option just fine. However, when I click “OK”, the following error comes up. I have tried restarting Anki, but I am not sure what else to try. Heatmap is the only addon I have installed. Thanks for any help in advance!

Error  
An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed.  
If the issue only occurs when add-ons are enabled, please use the Tools \> Add-ons menu item to disable some add-ons and restart Anki, repeating until you discover the add-on that is causing the problem.  
When you’ve discovered the add-on that is causing the problem, please report the issue on the add-on support site.

This is a no-brainer. Please read the first review, remove the add-on and install the official version.

> For anyone else reading this: You can grab the official beta releases of Review Heatmap here → [Releases · glutanimate/review-heatmap · GitHub](https://github.com/glutanimate/review-heatmap/releases) . Please note that these are beta releases, and so they are bound to still have issues that need to be addressed – which is why they should not be put on AnkiWeb.
