Find the ID of a Dashboard Extension

When developing your app, you might need to find the unique identifier of a particular extension. Depending on the extension's type and how it was added to your site, this identifier might be called "component ID", "extension ID", or "page ID."

The way to find an extension's ID depends on how it was created. In other words, finding the ID of an extension built with the Wix CLI is different from finding the ID of a self-hosted extension.

Extension types and their IDs

The following table summarizes how to find a dashboard extension ID based on its type and the way it was added to your app:

Extension Type	Deployment Method	Location
Dashboard Page	Self-hosted	On the Extensions page of your app's dashboard, the extension's More Actions menu includes a Copy extension ID action item. The ID also appears on the Dashboard Page configuration page in the Extension ID field and as the component-id query parameter in the configuration page's URL.
Dashboard Modal	Self-hosted	On the Extensions page of your app's dashboard, the extension's More Actions menu includes a Copy extension ID action item. The ID also appears as the component-id query parameter in the Dashboard Modal configuration page's URL.
Dashboard Page	Wix CLI	On the Extensions page of your app’s dashboard, the extension’s More Actions menu includes a Copy extension ID action item. The ID also appears in the local extension directory as the id property in the page.json file.
Dashboard Modal	Wix CLI	On the Extensions page of your app’s dashboard, the extension’s More Actions menu includes a Copy extension ID action item. The ID also appears in the local extension directory as the id property in the modal.json file.

Extension ID query parameter

When adding a self-hosted extension in your app's dashboard, the extension ID appears in the URL of the extension's configuration page as the component-id query parameter.
