Managing Extensions
Extensions add extra functionality such as additional context actions, code analyses, support for programming languages, etc. To simplify the process of installing, updating and uninstalling different extensions, dotCover provides a manager that does all annoying and routine operations for you automatically. You can browse all available extensions and install them just with one click.
To install an extension
- In the main menu, choose.
- In the Extension Manager dialog that opens, check out available extensions.
- Click Install next to the extension you want to add, and then click Install at the bottom of the dialog.
You can get extensions not only from our gallery, but also personal or company-wide extensions, which can be located anywhere. As soon as you add the new source, you can install extensions from this source and there is no difference whether it is local or remote. So if you have a set of extensions developed in your company, there is a need to distribute them publicly.
