• Contextual Relevance: Position options are designed to align with the functionality of each extension type, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Best Practices:

• Choose a position that aligns with the extension's intended functionality and user workflow.
• Review the available position options for each extension type to ensure optimal integration.
• Consider the impact of the position on the overall user experience within the PIM.
