# Downloads as Services

Once the [Downloads As Services](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/downloads/downloads-as-services/) extension is [installed and activated](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/docs/how-do-i-install-an-extension/), a new section will be added to the Download creation/edit screen as well as the Easy Digital Downloads settings area.

**Settings Area:**

By navigating to ***Downloads → Settings → Extensions*** you will have the ability to select Download categories that are "services".

**Settings Per Download:**

When creating or editing a Download product, you will see a new area in the right column in the Download Settings area which will allow you to set the individual Download as a "service".
