Managing extensions
Use the following features to manage your extensions within the FA AppStore.
Changes to extensions are audited - user audit tracks changes users make to extensions or their configurations through FA AppStore. Every time a user installs something from FA AppStore, user audit contains a message ”User [username] installed/upgraded/uninstalled extension [name] [version]”, and every time a user makes a change to configurations of an installed process, user audit contains a message ”User [username] added/modified/deleted configurations of process [id]”. (Available from FA 3.9 onward)
Change log
Click the Changelog to review what has been changed for this extension for each version of the extension. Changelog provides you with the change and version history of the specific extension.
FA AppStore also supports installing the latest compatible version of an extension. Each extension tracks which FA version it requires, and both the Install latest and Update buttons install the latest compatible version, preventing you from accidentally updating to a non-supported version.
Update

Before installing an update to an extension, review the change log for important information and prerequisites related to the latest version of the extension.
Install / Uninstall
Managing the extensions available for you or already installed for your use is easy with a click of a button. When you find something relevant, click Install to install the extension - refer to the description of the extension for more details about installing the extension.
Whether you can install extensions is controlled with a permission as well as with the modules you have in use - contact FA for more details if Install button is disabled for an extension you are interested in. If you have extensions installed that you don't any more use or need, click Uninstall to uninstall the extension from your FA.
