# Manage the Extension

*(Sub‑section of: Process Designer Reference → Process Designer Component → Custom Extensions)*

ONEWEB provides an **Extension Store** to manage all installed Custom Extensions within an application.\
This store allows users to **enable, disable, or remove extensions** without rebuilding or reinstalling them.

Managing extensions centrally helps maintain clean process environments and prevents unused or obsolete extensions from affecting workflows.

***

### Accessing the Extension Store

To manage extensions in an application:

1. Open **Process Designer**
2. Click the **Extensions** icon ![](https://docs.oneweb.tech/oneweb/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F2015371994-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252FMpDjHWFRUtZ5nJcSfVXd%252Fuploads%252FsHQrxKqGUJity4yyHAYR%252F0%3Falt%3Dmedia\&width=300\&dpr=3\&quality=100\&sign=deaafaa\&sv=2)
3. Select **Store Extension**

The **Extension Store** page will be displayed.

### Managing Installed Extensions

Within the Extension Store, users can perform the following actions for each installed extension:

#### Enable / Disable Extension

* Enable an extension to make it available in Process Designer
* Disable an extension to temporarily hide and prevent its use in workflows
* Disabling an extension does **not** remove it from the application

#### Delete Extension

* Remove an extension completely from the application
* Deleted extensions are no longer available for use
* Any process using the deleted extension must be reviewed before execution

After making changes, click the **Save** button to apply updates to the application.

### Important Considerations

* Disabling an extension does not alter existing process definitions but may affect execution
* Deleting an extension that is referenced in a process can cause validation or runtime errors
* Always review processes after enabling, disabling, or deleting extensions
* Use version control strategies when replacing or updating extensions

***

### Best Practices

* Disable extensions that are no longer required instead of immediately deleting them
* Keep only production‑ready extensions enabled
* Use meaningful naming and versioning for extensions
* Periodically review the Extension Store to keep the application clean
* Validate processes after any extension changes

***

### Summary

The **Extension Store** provides centralized control over all Custom Extensions in an application.

Key capabilities:

* Enable or disable extensions without reinstalling
* Delete unwanted extensions
* Control availability of custom activity nodes
* Maintain a clean and manageable process environment

Using the Extension Store effectively ensures that **Process Designer workflows remain stable, maintainable, and aligned with application needs**.
