1 What – Marketplace
The built-in Marketplace is a central distribution hub for Frontify extensions such as Content Blocks, Apps, and Themes. (Please note that Apps and Themes are in the making and coming soon). As for now, you can think of the Marketplace as a growing repository of Frontify extensions that give you advanced capabilities for building world-class Guidelines and Digital Asset Management processes. In addition to the Frontify extensions, Integrations are also listed on the Frontify Marketplace. The Marketplace is a growing ecosystem, so check the availability of new releases frequently.
Every extension (e.g.: Content Block) comes with a detailed page that includes context about the main functionality of a specific extension.
2 Getting started
Note: Only Account Admins can install the extensions (e.g., content blocks, apps, and themes) in the Marketplace.
Adding existing extensions from the Marketplace into your own Frontify Environment is simple.
Here’s the overview of the steps required to make extensions available for your teams:
Step 1: Click on your user icon within the Power Bar (bottom, left)
Step 2: Open the Marketplace
Step 3: Browse the list of available extensions. We differentiate between extensions that are already installed (green checkmark), extensions that are up for your selection, and extensions that aren't installed.
Step 4: Click on the "Install" button for a specific extension
Step 5: Configure the extension to your particular needs
3 Install, update, and uninstall extensions
Note: Only Account Admins can install, update, and uninstall extensions.
3.1 Install an extension
You can install an extension from the Marketplace in the overview or via the detail view.
3.2 Updating an extension
Some extensions might get updates over time due to bug fixes or enhanced functionality. Once an update is available, the Account Admin can decide to proceed with the update. Release notes are available if a new version is provided.
Updating an extension follows the same pattern as installing an extension. To edit the latest release, click the “Update Available” button on the extension details page and select “Update.”
Will an update break my extensions? In most cases, no. If there is a breaking change, the developer will notify and add the changes in the release notes.
3.3 Uninstalling an extension
To uninstall an extension, click the “Installed on Guidelines” button and select “Uninstall” from the menu. This option can also be found in the Version history panel of the currently installed version.
