Description

Surf Extension Modules are the main tool to use when adding, updating, or hiding content in the Share User Interface (UI). They can be deployed and un-deployed during runtime. A module is defined in XML and stored in the site-data/extensions directory.

Working with these extension modules assume a certain knowledge of the Surf UI development framework. Make sure that you have read through the Share Architecture section and the Surf deep dive section.
