# What are the different kinds of Whatfix extensions in use?

Whatfix has two kinds of extensions:

- **Studio extension**: This is used by content creators to create in-app content like Flows, Smart Tips and Beacons, that require the users to select elements on the respective application.
- **Production extension**: The production extension enables you to render the Whatfix content in the application of your end users using browser extensions. This is applicable only if you **don't** have access to your application code and cannot use the Javascript embed method of integration.
- **Preview extension**: The Preview extension enables you to preview Advanced customization (AC) code or content that is affected by it. Without the Preview extension, content creators cannot test any AC code.

Note:

If you have access to your application code, use the Javascript embed method to integrate Whatfix with the application and your end users do not require a production extension.
