06Frequently asked questions
How do I install Custom Mode for DSH Web?
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-custom-mode@2.3.0` and restart the Web host with its usual launcher.
Does creating an assistant change the next DSH session?
No. Explicitly select that assistant in the new session; the settings editor only chooses which assistant you are editing.
