This automated action is called <b>expansion</b>.</p><p><em>Expansion can be achieved in two ways.</em></p><h4>Button Expansion Option</h4><p>The first and most common way is to click on any of the <b>Run Expansion</b> buttons found at the top of some of the JCB admin views.</p><h4>Cronjob Expansion Option</h4><p>The second is by running a cronjob as explained bellow the area of selection in this tab. So you do not need to manually compile and install the selected components any more, the system does all that automatically for you. The latency of the workflow is based on your <b>cronjob frequency</b> and the <b>size</b> of your component.</p><p>Expansion is pause for a component in a few ways, one by actually <b>checking out/opening</b> the Joomla Component view of the component in JCB, or changing the state to unpublish, archive or trashed, or simply remove if from the list below.</p><h3>The Expansion method is there to speedup development testing.</h3><p>Below you should set the behaviour of a selected set of components that will be <b>auto build and installed</b> when the expansion module is run.</p>"
