Good to Know

  • Extension plugins are configured with a toggle switch.
  • External libraries are view-only.
  • Without required libraries, core features such as document conversion or OCR may not work.
  • Optional feature libraries enable support for additional file formats and media processing.
  • Items with an Installation Guide button have a separate installation procedure you can check.
  • Removing a plugin can affect related features and settings, so check what's currently in use before removing it.
