Working in the Add-ons user interface
Select Add-ons in your slide-out navigation to access the Add-ons screen where you can manage the Add-ons that your Tridion Sites implementation uses.
Manage tab
The Manage tab of the Add-ons screen shows all of the Add-ons that are present in this environment (including disabled Add-ons). The list shows a number of properties for each Add-on, including the version, status, configuration requirements, and details on who last updated the Add-ons and when.
To view additional details on extensions contained in the Add-ons or upload a new configuration file, click the row of an Add-on.
Find and Develop tab
The Find and Develop tab of the Add-ons screen contains quick links to product documentation about working with Add-ons and extensions in general, and about specific extension points in particular. It also enables you to visit the RWS AppStore in order to find Add-ons or extensions, made by others, that you may wish to reuse.
Uploading new packages
The Upload Add-on Package button lets you upload a new Add-on package (ZIP file).
After uploading a package, the CONFIGURATION column shows the status of the custom configuration for the Add-on as either Required, (but hasn't yet been uploaded), Optional (if none is required), or a timestamp of the moment when this version of the package was (most recently) uploaded.
For detailed instructions on uploading new Add-ons or updating a configuration file, refer to the related tasks.
