# Extensions manager

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
In Remote Desktop Manager, the ***Extensions manager*** is a modular tool that lets users install and activate optional components without bloating the default installation. It centralizes the management of browser and KeePass extension modules, as well as add-ons for session types, VPNs, tunnels, and gateways. By enabling only the components you need, the ***Extensions manager*** keeps the application lean while still supporting a wide range of integrations and protocols.

\
When an extension is activated, its associated entry types or features become available throughout Remote Desktop Manager. For example, a newly enabled VPN add-on will appear in the ***Add new entry*** dialog, and an installed browser extension can be paired with Remote Desktop Manager to autofill credentials directly from the vault.&#x20;

Here are the steps to install an extension:

1. In Remote Desktop Manager's ribbon, navigate to ***Tools*** – ***Extensions manager***.

2. Select the appropriate tab: ***Browser extension***, ***KeePass extension***, ***Session***, or ***VPN/Tunnel/Gateway.*** Locate the extension you want to install from the list.
3. Click ***Install*** or ***Activate add-on***, depending on the tab.
4. When prompted, restart Remote Desktop Manager to load the new module.

Once RDM has restarted, the extension is ready to use in your entries and workflows.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/tools/extensions-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
