Umbraco Backoffice Extensions Overview

What This Skill Does

Backoffice customisations are combinations of extension types working together:

• A "custom admin area" = Section + Menu + Dashboard
• A "data management tool" = Section + Menu + Workspace
• A "hierarchical browser" = Section + Menu + Tree + Workspace

This skill provides complete working blueprints. The source code is in ./examples/ - copy and adapt for your needs.

For details on individual extension types, invoke the referenced sub-skills.

TIP: If the Umbraco CMS source code is available in your workspace, use it as a reference and for inspiration. The backoffice client code in src/Umbraco.Web.UI.Client/src/packages/ shows production implementations of all extension types - study how the core team structures sections, workspaces, trees, and other patterns.
