There is also a small announcement that we would like to make in line with our previous post. Yes, we have supported a few more locations to help you build more apps. Here's a summary of all the locations that we support now:

Top band or the Top navigation bar ^{new -}This location can be used to render an extension that functions at the org level. For example, to create checklist templates for your organization, you have to access the Checklist extension from the top navigation bar and configure the templates.
Project tab ^new - You can render an extension as a module in your project. For example, we have implemented a Tasklist extension where you can manage your task lists like how you manage your tasks and milestones.
Attachment picker ^new - You can attach your files directly from your Google Drive across Zoho Projects. Wherever you see an attachment icon, you get to access your GDrive account. It is that simple!
Task right-side panel ^new - Extensions like Harvest , Cliq , and Zoho Meeting show up inside the right panel of a task's detail page.
Issue right-side panel ^new - Extensions like Zoho Assist and Cliq show up inside the right panel of an issue's detail page.
Task details page - You can render your app as the last tab in a task's details page. For example, the Checklist , Google Drive , and Zendesk extensions show up here. You can create to-do lists for a task, attach files from your Google account to the task, and associate a Zendesk ticket with your task respectively.
Issue details page - You can render your app as the last tab in an issue's details page. You can access the Checklist , Google Drive , and Zendesk extensions for an issue like how you did for the tasks.
Extension settings page - This location can be used to receive more input from the user. It could be a configuration of the extension or any other functionality that will improve the performance of the extension.

We will see you soon with another extension next time :)
