# Be careful

• Custom extensions are not enabled by default. When installing an extension, you should ensure its operational security yourself. Developer tools are not responsible for any problems caused by external extensions.
• The enablement and disabling of extensions are valid for all projects. Currently, it is not possible to enable or disable an extension for a single project.
• Disabling some built-in extensions may cause some code editing functionality to be missing.
• If an extension does not start because it is enabled, you can delete its plug-in folder in the extension directory.
• As the developer tools are updated, some extensions may not be available because they become obsolete due to compatibility issues. Please update these extensions in a timely manner if compatibility issues arise.
