# Using Extensions
|
|
|
|
The features that Lens includes out-of-the-box are just the start.
|
|
Lens extensions let you add new features to your installation to support your workflow.
|
|
Rich extensibility model lets extension authors plug directly into the Lens UI and contribute functionality through the same APIs used by Lens itself.
|
|
The start using Lens Extensions go to **File** (or **Lens** on macOS) > **Extensions** in the application menu.
|
|
This is the `Extensions` management page where all the management of the extensions you want to use is done.
|
|
|
|

|
## Installing an Extension
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to install extensions.
|
|
If you have the extension as a `.tgz` file then dragging and dropping it in the extension management page will install it for you.
|
|
If it is hosted on the web, you can paste the URL and click `Install` and Lens will download and install it.
|
|
The third way is to move the extension into your `~/.k8slens/extensions` (or `C:\Users\<user>\.k8slens\extensions`) folder and Lens will automatically detect it and install the extension.
|
|
|
|
## Enabling or Disabling an Extension
|
|
|
|
Go to the extension management page and click either the `Enable` or `Disable` buttons.
|
|
Extensions will be enabled by default when you first install them.
|
|
A disabled extension is not loaded by Lens and is not run.
|
|
|
|
## Uninstalling an Extension
|
|
|
|
If, for whatever reason, you wish to remove the installation of an extension simple click the `Uninstall` button. This will remove all the files that Lens would need to run the extension.
