+Customizing Airflow
+===================
+
+There are several ways to extend the capabilities of Apache Airflow:
+
+* Writing `Custom Operators <howto/custom-operator>`_ : Operators are the building blocks of DAGs in
+  Airflow, and can be used to perform specific tasks within a DAG. By writing custom operators,
+  you can add new functionality to Airflow, such as the ability to connect to and interact
+  with external services, or to perform complex data transformations.
+
+* Writing `Custom Decorators <howto/create-custom-decorator>`_ : Custom decorators are a way to
+  extend the functionality of the Airflow ``@task`` decorator. By writing custom decorators,
+  you can add new functionality to Airflow, such as the ability to connect to and interact
+  with external services, or to perform complex data transformations.
+
+* Creating custom :doc:`plugins`: Airflow plugins are extensions to the core system that provide additional
+  features and functionality. By creating custom plugins, you can add new capabilities to Airflow,
+  such as adding custom UI components, creating custom macros, creating your own TimeTables,
+  adding Operator Extra Links, Listeners.
+
+* Writing custom `provider packages <apache-airflow-providers:index>`_: Providers are the components
+  of Airflow that are responsible for connecting to and interacting with external services. By writing
+  custom providers, you can add support for new types of external services, such as databases or
+  cloud services, to Airflow.
