Extensions are used to add and customize new features in the standard database setup. They can be implemented in both cloud-based and self-hosted databases. This manual will explain the steps to add the extension in self-host base.

b) Designer mode
1С:Enterprise mode:
This method can be used for both self-hosted and cloud-based infobases.

Once the file is selected, you will receive a confirmation message. Press Yes and then repeat the action.
If the extension does not appear in the table, start again by clicking Add. Make sure to uncheck Safe Mode, Profile Name, Force default roles for all users, and Unsafe Operation Protection
