Extensions page reference
Look up every tool on a map's Extensions page: its label, what it does, whether it starts enabled, and if it supports Open on load.
Every tool listed on a map’s Extensions page, with its UI label, description, supported actions, whether it starts enabled on a new map, and whether it supports Open on load. The page is reached from the admin sidebar → Extensions.
For the page layout, Add / Settings / Remove semantics, and the Open on load model, see How the Extensions page works in MangoMap.
Card-level controls
Each tool row on the Extensions page has these controls. Which are present depends on whether the tool is on and whether it supports settings or open-on-load.
| Control | When it shows | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Add |
Tool is off | Turns the tool on. For tools with settings, opens the settings page first. For pure toggles, enables immediately. |
Settings |
Tool is on and supports configuration | Opens the tool’s settings page. |
Remove |
Tool is on | Turns the tool off. Most configurable tools delete their saved configuration when removed, so re-adding starts from defaults; Information sidebar keeps its content. |
Open on load (dashed outline) |
Tool is on and supports being default-open | Click to make this tool the panel that opens when viewers first open the map. |
Opens on load (filled, primary) |
Tool is currently set as default-open | Click to clear; viewers will land on no panel open. |
Only one tool can be the default-open tool at a time. Setting Open on load on a second tool moves the chip and clears the first.

Settings page navigation
Each tool with a Settings button routes to its own settings page within the Extensions area.
To configure another tool, return to the card grid and open it. The Extensions item stays visible in the admin sidebar.

What this reference does NOT cover
- Per-tool settings detail — the fields, defaults, and choices inside each settings page. Those live in the per-tool how-to.
