Get and Deploy Modules

The easiest and fastest way to extend your web application platform is to get and deploy add-ons, modules or preloads (single file component). Any installed add-on is displayed with a different color (installed, updatable, etc). It is recommended to use the most recent version.

You are also given the freedom to use older versions if those are necessary for compatibility reasons.
Beware of potential issues that arise with installing older versions of modules needed. The older versions may not be compatible with the XCL 2.3.x version you have installed.
