Extensions
#Positions
Extension position defines where your extension appears within the Akeneo PIM interface. You can select from a variety of available positions, which vary depending on the specific extension type.
Key Concepts:
- Position Options: Each extension type offers a set of predefined positions. These positions control the location of your extension's interface elements.
- Contextual Relevance: Position options are designed to align with the functionality of each extension type, ensuring a seamless user experience.
