User-Facing UX

• Extensions Preferences (Official): How the user configures extensions in their preferences.

Official Extension Platform

The official extension platform, extensions.blender.org, implements stringent guidelines to ensure the quality of published extensions.

• General Guidelines (Official): All platform extensions must conform to this.
• Moderation Guidelines (Official): Checklist used by extension moderators when approving extensions.
• Canned Moderation Responses (Official): A very specific list of things that are not acceptable on the extensions platform.
• Become a Moderator: Help extensions reach users faster.

We strongly suggest playing "moderator of your own extension" before attempting to publish to the platform.
