# Add features to your application with extensions

## Objective

Extensions are a list of packages, accessible through the extensions tab, which can provide your application with additional features, such as a third-party chart software, translation services, or dynamic parameters.

## Manage your extensions

The _Extensions_ tab of the APP Manager lets you view and manage the different supported libraries:

![Manage your extensions — App extensions](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/app-manager/extensions/picts/app-extensions.png)
- **Add** extensions that you need for your Project
- **Configure** Global settings for the extension, where applicable
- **Delete** extensions that are already installed if they are not necessary, or if you need a new version of the library.
- **Get more information** concerning extensions linked to external libraries.
- **Import** an open-source or proprietary Project-specific or organization-specific extension

:::warning
Adding an extension requires you to reload your app (on the Overview page) in order to be able to build it.
:::

## Customize the extensions

Each extension within the Data Platform marketplace has its own specific configuration in a JSON file that you can edit and customize.

## Available extensions

Four types of extensions are available: system extensions, platform utilities, dynamic parameters and charts libraries.
