@sneridagh I guess either https://6.docs.plone.org/volto/backend/index.html or a new section in https://6.docs.plone.org/volto/blocks/index.html

I would follow @davisagli's suggestion, as I have no clue what this thingie is!

[davisagli]

@stevepiercy It's an extension mechanism for addons to make changes to content data as it arrives from the backend.

[stevepiercy]

Gotcha. I think in Integration with the backend for sure.

However, I'm not sure how it relates to Blocks. Do we have a diagram and narrative similar to Pyramid's Request Processing, where one can see where this thingie fits into the entire process? I created that diagram, and its source is available as SVG, if we want to adapt it for Plone and Volto.

@davisagli @stevepiercy I added some docs.

@stevepiercy right now it's super simple, a function in the middle of the whole pipeline. I don't know if we need further bells and whistles for now...
