Installing and updating modules from the Marketplace

You can use the Marketplace section in your workspace in Backstage to see all the modules that are available for your workspaces.

All the available modules are displayed, and can be sorted by using the tabs in the panel to the left:

• All categories (like in the image below)
• Content and logistics
• Integrations
• Live
• Networking

You can also select the Installed modules tab to see only the workspaces that are installed on your workspace.

Each workspace will display:

• "Installed" if the module is installed on the workspace
• "Update" if the module is installed on the workspace AND if an update is available.
• No tag, if the module is not installed.

To learn more about a specific module, click on it to open its details page:

• You will see images, a link to documentation (See documentation), and a list of changes in the last update or previous ones (Whats new / See all).
• You will see a Update or Install button for the module, depending on whether the module is installed or not. If no button is visible, it is because the module is installed and no updates are available:
  
  To install or update a module in your workspace, you need to be a manager of the workspace.

Best practices for module updates

With regards to module updates, please make sure that you:

• Update your workspace templates as soon as possible, and always test to make sure that any implemented changes or new functionalities described in the release notes are working as expected.
• Update your workspaces before the event goes live, and always test to make sure that any implemented changes or new functionalities described in the release notes are working as expected.

If the event is live or in the invitation phase (the initial invitation emails were already sent to the attendees), do not update the modules unless specifically recommended by the SpotMe Team.
It is important to keep in mind that new functionalities or changes that are implemented as part of a module update can introduce new behaviours that, depending on your existing workspace configuration, may impact your event.
