      Extensions & Settings

      Customize and expand your platform with powerful add-ons

      Extensions allow you to customize and expand the functionality of your StellarUp platform. Think of them as additional modules: once enabled, they appear in your Settings and can be configured according to your needs.

      This article provides an overview of commonly used extensions and how to work with them.

      What are Extensions?

      • Optional modules that extend platform features.

      • Enable or disable depending on your community’s needs.

      • Once activated, they will also appear in Settings for configuration.

      1. Navigate to Extensions from the admin sidebar.

      2. Use filters or the search bar to find the extension you need.

      3. Activate, edit, or disable extensions with one click.

      4. Once enabled, configure settings such as roles, visibility, and naming.
