+To deploy your GUI extension with a cord profile you'll need to reference it in `platform-install` and `build`.
+The following steps must be followed to ensure that your GUI extension builds correctly with XOS.
+
+### Adding the extension to `docker_images.yml`
+
+Open `cord/build/docker_images.yml`. Locate the section of the file with other GUI extensions, and add the following:
+
+```yaml
+- name: xosproject/gui-extension-sample
+    repo: sampleRepo # should match Gerrit repo name
+    path: "xos/gui" # path to find extension in the repo (i.e. sampleRepo/xos/gui/)
+```
+Please maintain ascending alphabetical order among the GUI extensions when inserting your own extension.
+
+### Adding the extension to the podconfig scenario
+
+Open the `config.yml` file of the podconfig scenario relevant to your GUI extension (e.g. cord, mock, local). 
+Locate the section titled `docker_image_whitelist` and add your GUI extension.
+
+```yaml

+# ...other docker images...
+  - "xosproject/gui-extension-rcord"
+  - "xosproject/gui-extension-sample" # extension added in alphabetical order
