Extensions

An extension is a small program that adds a capability to Cowork, for example a connection to an outside chat channel.

When to use it

When you want to add a capability to Cowork that comes as an extension, such as a new message channel.

How to use it

Open Settings › Extensions:

1. Install from folder — choose the extension's folder; it is copied into Cowork.
2. Review it and click Approve. Nothing runs before you approve.
3. Switch it on.

• Each extension runs separately from Cowork, so a crash does not take Cowork down.
• Logs shows what it is doing. Uninstall removes it.
• If its files change, it must be approved again.
• Only you can approve an extension; the AI cannot.
