Add-ons add additional functionality to ZAP.
They have full access to all of the ZAP internals, and so can provide very powerful new features.
You can dynamically install add-ons from the online Add-on Marketplace via the
Manage Add-ons dialog.
You can typically add and remove add-ons to and from the ZAP UI without having to restart it.
Add-ons can provide context sensitive help which is dynamically integrated with the help file.
If you are reading this page via a ZAP help file (as opposed to reading it online) then any
help pages associated with the add-ons you have installed will be available under
here.
Add-ons are assigned a status which may be one of:
| Release | which indicates they are of high status and fit for purpose | |
| Beta | which indicates they are of reasonable status but may be incomplete or need further testing | |
| Alpha | which indicates they are at an early stage of development |
To make an add-on available to ZAP it must be in one of the following locations:
plugin directory located in the ZAP’s installation folder;plugin directory located in the ZAP’s user folder.| UI Overview | for an overview of the user interface | |
| Features | provided by ZAP | |
| Marketplace | to browse the add-ons online |
