Configuration extensions

The configuration extensions feature is intended for implementing the changes of the main configuration in extension configurations. This allow you to avoid switching the main configuration to the mode that allows making changes. Extensions can be applied in 1C:Enterprise mode. Each infobase data area can have a custom set of extensions.

Terms and definitions
