   • If you have the extension in a local folder, you can add the path to the extension by clicking the green + button in the Extension Search Paths section at the top and then typing the full path to the parent folder containing the extension’s folder. This path can contain multiple extensions.

   • If you want to add a new extension registry, click the green + button in the Extension Registries section at the bottom and type in the full URL of the extension registry.
