Getting Started with QuarkXPress 2023 | 7
Installing XTensions Modules
QuarkXPress ships with a default set of XTensions modules. You can also
install additional XTensions software developed by Quark or by third-party
companies.
Most XTensions come in two parts, one file for the functionality of the
XTensions module, and another file for its user interface. The name of the user
interface module typically ends in “UI”. XTensions modules that do not have any
user interface do not have to have a UI file.
macOS
QuarkXPress 2023 is released as an “App Bundle” for macOS. In order to make
this possible, all the supporting folders, including the default XTensions, have
been moved inside the self-contained app bundle. QuarkXPress 2023 will load
third-party XTensions from the following two locations:
~/Library/Application Support/Quark/QuarkXPress 2023/XTensions ●
/Library/Application Support/Quark/QuarkXPress 2023/XTensions ●
If the XTension is placed in the main library path, it will be available to all the
users on that Mac. If deployed in the user’s library path, the XTension will only
be available to that particular user. If the same XTension exists in both of these
locations, then the one in the user’s library location will get precedence.
The XTensions must be placed in one of these folders for QuarkXPress 2023 
to load them. Do not make a change in the QuarkXPress app bundle. Newly
installed XTensions modules will load the next time you launch.
The disabled XTensions will be recorded in the following file: 
~/Library/Application Support/Quark/QuarkXPress 2023/XTSettings.plist
Windows
To install XTensions modules on Windows, place them in the XTensions folder
within your application folder. Newly installed XTensions modules will load the
next time you launch.
