Modules
Backlight provides a modular design system, wherein modules are used to create templates for pages, albums, album sets, and more.
Core Modules
Core modules ship as part of the Backlight application, and encapsulate various functionalities for Backlight's administration. Some of these modules are categorized as "design modules", and are using via Backlight's Designer to create consumer-facing pages, albums, and album sets.
Design modules are grouped into families, having the names of animals, and are used to create Templates. Templates combine in various configurations, within their family, to create pages, albums, and album sets.

Add-ons bring additional, optional functionality to Backlight.
Currently, add-ons may only be used with Pangolin templates.
Available add-ons include:
