Getting Started

The platform extensions system allows third-party developers to build custom UI applications and embed them in the marketplace. This guide covers building and uploading platform extensions, with step-by-step instructions, best practices, troubleshooting guidance, and examples.

What is a platform extension?

A platform extension is a front-end application built with the platform extensions system. Extensions use web technologies such as React, CSS, and JavaScript, and can be embedded in the platform and interact with the marketplace APIs.

• It can be a single-page or multi-page application.
• It has a path (example: /app/my-extension)
• It can be linked to the marketplace navigation.
• You can control who can access it.

For more information, see Extensions architecture.
