**Extensions** are modular components that allow you to extend the way you interact with NocoDB. In a way, they are like plugins that add new features or functionalities to the platform. Not all features are built into the core of NocoDB, and that's where Extensions come in. Users can now go beyond the default features of NocoDB, tailoring the platform to better fit their specific needs and workflows.
:::note
The Extensions feature is currently available only on NocoDB Cloud and is not supported in self-hosted instances.

In this section, we will guide you through understanding extensions framework, how to install and manage them, and how they can be used to enhance your base.
