For projects where you want to allow a third party to add software components, such as a CMS team updating seasonal content assets, you can use Chained Manifests. The primary software team can define “Chained Section References” within the original manifest on KOS Studio, which act as authorized sections for additional content. Approved third parties can plug their own content into these sections, but they cannot modify or replace the verified base software. This ensures the integrity of the primary release, while safely enabling external contributions.
