Configuration extensions
Configuration extensions provide you with the option to store modifications to the main configuration in extension configurations. When you use extensions with a supported main configuration, you do not have to enable editing the main configuration. Extensions can be applied in 1C:Enterprise mode. Each area of a separated infomain can have a custom set of extensions.
