Add-on and feature directory

Find setup instructions for community add-ons and related features below. Some guides live in other documentation categories because they cover a broader feature or integration.

Add-ons notes

Availability depends on your plan, community configuration and feature status. Always test new add-ons and configuration changes on a staging community before applying them to production.

For enablement, configuration and disable guidance, see Addons Overview.

View and manage add-ons

Open Settings > Addons > Addons in the Dashboard to see the add-ons available to your community.

Current status and management locations

Some features are built into Vanilla or managed elsewhere. See Addons Overview for current location examples and Product Life Cycle for formal lifecycle stages. The Sunset group on the Addons page does not provide a retirement date.
