Suggested reading path

The platform manual is focused on ExtensionFlow operations and internals. Product-specific guides remain on their own extension documentation pages.

  1. ReadPublic portal pages and buttonsto understand what each public page and action does.
  2. ReadRelease fieldsbefore publishing packages, private metadata or archived/yanked records.
  3. ReadCompatibility registrybefore changing Joomla, PHP or database version rules.
  4. ReadPlatform stackandAPI referencefor architecture-level work.
  5. ReadInternal seed and migration notesbefore changing baseline data.

Product documentation stays with products

Module and artifact guides live on the corresponding extension documentation page. For example, a CTA module guide should explain CTA fields, presets, actions, template positions and troubleshooting, while this platform documentation explains ExtensionFlow release and update infrastructure.
