# Name Description
1 Control change action Here Add Controls Before corresponds to addbefore, meaning add controls before the anchor.
2 Anchor reference The base control to anchor the action, i.e. the control to add controls before. Click to navigate to the control in the base page.
3 Controls to add The controls to add before the anchor.
4 Inlined extension control The field added by the extension is displayed in the base page and before the anchor.
5 Anchor declaration The anchor control declared in the base page.
6 Extension arrow The arrow indicates that this control is defined in an extension. Click the arrow to navigate to the declaration in the extension object.

Notice that if multiple extensions try to e.g. add controls before a certain control, the outcome depends on the order in which the extension actions are applied. Prism applies changes in the topological order induced by the module dependencies, just like Business Central's runtime.
