## Summary
Comprehensive remediation of 146 documentation files to align with Zed's
documentation conventions and brand voice guidelines.
## Changes
### YAML Frontmatter
- Added `title` and `description` frontmatter to all docs missing it
### Settings UI Pattern
- Updated 48+ files to show Settings Editor before JSON examples
- Pattern: `Configure X in Settings ({#kb zed::OpenSettings}), or add to
your settings file:`
- Added `([how to edit](./configuring-zed.md#settings-files))` links for
JSON-only settings
### Brand Voice Fixes
- Removed exclamation points (command-palette, key-bindings, repl,
privacy-and-security, etc.)
- Simplified em dash chains to parentheticals (environment,
troubleshooting, agent-panel, etc.)
- Fixed marketing language (yarn.md intro, development/linux.md)
### Terminology Alignment
- `settings UI` -> `Settings Editor`
- `sidebar` -> specific panel names (Project Panel, Collab Panel)
- `directory` -> `folder` in non-technical contexts
- `workspace` -> `project` in non-LSP contexts
- `Command Palette` -> `command palette` (lowercase)
### Callout Standardization
- Converted various callout formats to standard `> **Note:**` pattern

Depends on conventions established in #49176.

# Installing Extensions {#installing-extensions}
|
|
|
|
Extensions add functionality to Zed, including languages, themes, and AI tools. Browse and install them from the Extension Gallery.
|
|
|
|
Open the Extension Gallery with {#kb zed::Extensions}, or select "Zed > Extensions" from the menu bar.
|
|
|
|
## Installation Location
|
|
|
|
- On macOS, extensions are installed in `~/Library/Application Support/Zed/extensions`.
|
|
- On Linux, they are installed in either `$XDG_DATA_HOME/zed/extensions` or `~/.local/share/zed/extensions`.
|
|
- On Windows, the directory is `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Zed\extensions`.
|
|
|
|
This directory contains two subdirectories:
|
|
|
|
- `installed`, which contains the source code for each extension.
|
|
- `work` which contains files created by the extension itself, such as downloaded language servers.
|
|
|
|
## Auto-installing
|
|
|
|
To automate extension installation/uninstallation see the docs for [auto_install_extensions](../reference/all-settings.md#auto-install-extensions).
