 importantly, they can add new ways of interacting with the database.

+Built-in extensions
+-------------------
+
+There are a few built-in extensions available:
+
+- ``edgeql_http``: enables :ref:`EdgeQL over HTTP <ref_edgeql_http>`,
+- ``graphql``: enables :ref:`GraphQL <ref_graphql_index>`,
+- ``auth``: enables :ref:`EdgeDB Auth <ref_guide_auth>`,
+- ``ai``: enables :ref:`ext::ai module <ref_ai_reference>`,
+
+- ``pg_trgm``: enables ``ext::pg_trgm``, which re-exports
+  `pgtrgm <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgtrgm.html>`__,
+
+- ``pg_unaccent``: enables ``ext::pg_unaccent``, which re-exports
+  `unaccent <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/unaccent.html>`__,
+
+- ``pgcrypto``: enables ``ext::pgcrypto``, which re-exports
+  `pgcrypto <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgcrypto.html>`__,
+
+- ``pgvector``: enables ``ext::pgvector``, which re-exports
+  `pgvector <https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/>`__,
+
+.. _ref_datamodel_using_extension:
+
+To enable these extensions, add a ``using`` statement at the top level of your schema:
+
+.. code-block:: sdl
+
+    using extension auth;
+    
+
+
+Standalone extensions
+---------------------
+
+Additionally, standalone extension packages can be installed via the CLI.
+
+List installed extensions:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ edgedb extension list -I my_instance
+    ┌─────────┬─────────┐
+    │ Name    │ Version │
+    └─────────┴─────────┘
+
+List available extensions:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ edgedb extension list-available -I my_instance
+    ┌─────────┬───────────────┐
+    │ Name    │ Version       │
+    │ postgis │ 3.4.3+6b82d77 │
+    └─────────┴───────────────┘
+
+Install the ``postgis`` extension:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ edgedb extension install -I my_instance -E postgis
+    Found extension package: postgis version 3.4.3+6b82d77
+    00:00:03 [====================] 22.49 MiB/22.49 MiB
+    Extension 'postgis' installed successfully.
+
+Check that extension is installed:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ edgedb extension list -I my_instance
+    ┌─────────┬───────────────┐
+    │ Name    │ Version       │
+    │ postgis │ 3.4.3+6b82d77 │
+    └─────────┴───────────────┘
+
+After installing extensions, make sure to restart your instance:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ edgedb instance restart -I my_instance
+
+Standalone extensions can now be declared in the schema, same as :ref:`built-in
+extensions <ref_datamodel_using_extension>`.
+
+To restore a dump that uses a standalone extension, that extension must be installed
+before the restore process.
