Introduction

Soffid provides a collection of addons that can be installed to add functionalities to the Soffid Console.

There are several Addons available to be installed to add functionalities to the Soffid Console. These addons can be found at: download opensource or in download enterprise in the Addons section.

In Soffid 4, it is no longer necessary to upload addons to the Console. A new marketplace feature has been included in the license and plugin page to download addons directly from there.
