Add Content

||

The Add Content extension adds a custom item to the Add dropdown menu in:

• Shared Spaces
• My Files
• Collections (when creating a new Collection)

What you'll learn:

• What the Add Content extension does and where it appears in the Showpad platform
• How to declare it in your manifest.json and configure supportedContexts

Use the addContentExtensions property in your manifest to define it:

"addContentExtensions": [
  {
    "extensionKey": "my-add-content-extension",
    "name": "My Add Content Extension",
    "description": "Extension description",
    "icon": "extension-icon.png",
    "supportedContexts": [
      "sharedspace",
      "collection",
      "myfiles"
    ],
    "resources": {
      "folder": "add-content-extension"
    }
  }
]

note

supportedContexts accepts "sharedspace", "collection", and "myfiles". Include only the contexts where your extension should appear.
