== UNO for Add-Ons ==
Programmers can write and integrate their own UNO components to OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Those components can be added to the LibreOffice menus and toolbars; they are called "Add-Ons".<ref name="unowiki">{{cite web|url=http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Integrating_new_UNO_components|title=Integrating new UNO components|access-date=20 September 2014}}</ref>
The Add-Ons can extend the functionality of LibreOffice.

The integration of new components is supported by some tools and services. The three main steps are as follows:<ref name="unowiki"/>

#Register the new components within LibreOffice. This can be accomplished using the tool <code>unopkg</code>.
#Integrate the new components as services. The ProtocolHandler and JobDispatch services assist you.
#Change the user interface (menus or toolbars). This can be done almost automatically by writing an XML text file that describes the changes.
