A ZIP file with all the updated content is one of the formats generated when updating or generating an extension in Manage Extensions. A ZIP file can be used to extract and upload content when the regular extension deployment methods are not possible. The contents of the ZIP file can only be installed on an individual user's browser, typically for testing.
