Extensions and Add-ons

What is an Extension ?

Extensions add features and enhance the functionality of a website.

What is an Add-on?

Add-ons are made by third-party companies that add additional functionality to a Google Doc, Form, Sheet or Slides that Google has not built into the core app. The purpose of an add-on is similar to that of a browser extension—to gain additional features.
