Modules

Last updated on June 19, 2024

The Insites Platform comprises various modules that can be updated independently, allowing you to control when and how they may impact your application. For example, you can keep a stable version of the 'Database' module running while updating to the latest 'Forms' module to take advantage of the newest front-end features and security measures.

This tab displays the modules your Instance currently has installed. It also displays the status of the module on the right edge of its row, indicating whether the module is installed, being updated, or if an update is available. You can perform the following actions on a module:

  • Viewing a Module
  • Updating a Module to a Newer Version
  • Reverting a Module to an Older Version
