Adding Extensions

Moneydance has the ability to load new features as extensions. As many users may not need these features, extensions allow users to choose whether or not they want them. Extensions can be easily added or removed. Extensions can be downloaded from the Internet or added directly from a file. They are verified and digitally signed to ensure that your data remains safe.

After an extension is added, it is available through the drop down menu accessed through the extension icon at the top right of the toolbar.

All extension management functions are accessible from the Extensions menu item. To view information about an extension, select the Extensions->Get Info For->[Extension Name] menu item. To remove an extension, select the Extensions->Remove->[Extension Name] menu item. To add an extension, click the Extensions->Add menu item. Then, select where you would like to Moneydance to load the extension from. If you have been provided an extension and already have the .mxt file on your computer then you should choose the From File option. Otherwise, select the From the Internet option, and click the Next button.

If you selected From the Internet, Moneydance will contact the moneydance.com website and display a list of available extensions. The available extensions will be listed along with the company or person that created them. Select an extension from the list and click Next to continue.

If you selected From File option in the previous step, you will be asked to select the mxt file that contains the extension to be added. Once a file has been selected, click Next to continue.

After the extension has been loaded and verified, a panel will be displayed that shows information about the extension. If everything appears correct, click the Finish button to install the extension and complete the process.
