Description

The Extension settings steps across the Extension docs still told readers to "Go to the Extensions section" — the standalone Extensions page that has since been retired from the CometChat Dashboard. Extensions now live under Chat & Messaging → Features, grouped in an Extensions block on that page.

This updates the dashboard path on all 30 affected pages:

  • 28 pages in fundamentals/ — the step-2 instruction in each page's Extension settings section
  • ui-kit/ios/extensions.mdx — quick-reference table row and the "How Extensions Work" steps
  • sdk/flutter/v4/extensions-overview.mdx — the AI quick-reference block and the <Steps> walkthrough

Before / after:

 1. Login to [CometChat](https://app.cometchat.com/login) and select your app.
-2. Go to the Extensions section and enable the Message shortcuts extension.
+2. Navigate to **Chat & Messaging** → **Features** and enable **Message shortcuts** under **Extensions**.

Verified against the live dashboard

Rather than only swapping the path, I checked every feature label and section heading against a live app (Chat & Messaging → Features, route /app/{appId}/chat-features). Three pages needed more than a path change, because the capability is no longer listed as an extension:

Page Was Now
fundamentals/reactions.mdx "the Reactions extension" Reactions under Core
fundamentals/mentions.mdx "the Mentions extension" Mentions under Core
fundamentals/smart-replies.mdx "the Smart Reply extension" Smart Replies under Smart Chat Features

Extension labels were also aligned to the exact dashboard casing (Pin Message, Save Message, Collaborative document, Collaborative whiteboard).

  • My changes follow the documentation style guide
  • I have checked for spelling and grammar errors
  • All links in my changes are valid and working
  • My changes are accurately described in this pull request

Additional Information

Text-only change — 30 files, one or two lines each, no navigation, frontmatter, or URL changes, so there are no redirect or build implications.

Two things deliberately left out of this PR:

  1. Four extensions were not on the Features list of the app I checked — Avatars, Email replies, End-to-end encryption, and Live Streaming (Video Broadcasting). They may be plan-gated on the free tier or retired outright. Their pages get the corrected Chat & Messaging → Features path but no section claim, since I could not verify where they sit. Worth confirming with the dashboard team.
  2. Stale screenshots. Several pages (e.g. stickers-stipop.mdx, email-replies.mdx) still show the old Extensions settings UI. Those are image assets rather than text and need reshooting — better handled as its own ticket.

The Extension setup steps still told readers to "Go to the Extensions
section", which refers to the retired standalone Extensions page in the
CometChat Dashboard. Extensions are now managed under Chat & Messaging >
Features, grouped in an "Extensions" block on that page.

Updated the setup instruction across all 28 Extension pages in
fundamentals/, plus the iOS UI Kit and Flutter v4 SDK extension
overviews.

Labels and section names were verified against the live dashboard
(Chat & Messaging > Features). Three pages needed more than a path
change, because the capability is no longer an extension there:

- Reactions and Mentions are now listed under "Core"
- Smart Reply is now "Smart Replies" under "Smart Chat Features"

Docs review — ✅ Approve (one thing to confirm)

A consistent find-replace across 30 pages updating the dashboard navigation path for enabling extensions — from "Go to the Extensions section" to "Navigate to Chat & MessagingFeatures". Structurally clean and internally consistent.

✅ What passed

  • Structure: 0 nav breaks, 0 broken links, redirects +0, no markup broken by the / **bold** additions. (The /fundamentals/webhooks-overview orphan is pre-existing — not in this PR.)
  • Consistent pattern across all 27 fundamentals pages, and the 3 multi-line files (sdk/flutter/v4/extensions-overview, ui-kit/ios/extensions) update their Steps + the dashboard-setup table coherently to the same path.
  • Balanced +35/-35 = pure path re-wording, no content added or lost.

🟡 Please confirm against the live dashboard — the "under Extensions" split

The new text deliberately splits the items into two groups (which can only be verified in the dashboard):

  • No "under Extensions" (first-class Features, 7): Avatars, Mentions, Reactions, Smart Replies, End-to-end encryption, Email replies, Live Streaming.
  • "…under Extensions" (21): Bitly, Giphy, Tenor, Chatwoot, Intercom, Stipop, Stickers, Polls, Collaborative document/whiteboard, Disappearing messages, Link Preview, Message Translation, Message shortcuts, Pin Message, Reminders, Rich Media Preview, Save Message, Thumbnail Generation, TinyURL, Voice Transcription.

If this mirrors the actual dashboard IA, it's a nice precision touch — but a few assignments are worth a second look (e.g. Reactions / Smart Replies are marked as Features while Message Translation / Polls are under-Extensions). If any item is in the wrong bucket, readers get sent to the wrong place — worth confirming the split is exact, since that's the whole point of the PR.

(This is inherently a dashboard-UI change — I can't verify the "Chat & Messaging → Features" path itself without the dashboard, so I'm trusting the author checked it.)

Clean, well-executed navigation update. 🚀
