 title: Rancher Extensions
 ---

-New in Rancher v2.7.0, Rancher introduces **extensions**. Extensions allow users, developers, partners, and customers to extend and enhance the Rancher Manager UI. In addition, users can make changes and create enhancements to their UI functionality independent of Rancher Manager releases. Extensions will enable users to build on top of Rancher to better tailor it to their respective environments.

Extensions will enable users to build on top of Rancher to better tailor it to their respective environments. Note that users will also have the ability to update to new versions as well as roll back to a previous version.
