+##### Activity module support functions
+
+Activity modules can implement a global function to provide additional information about the module
+features. These functions are optional and can be used to provide additional features or to modify the behaviour of the activity module.
+
+```php title="mod/[modname]/lib.php"
+function [modname]_supports(string $feature): bool|string|null;
+```
+
+The function `[modname]_supports` is used to check if the activity module supports a particular feature. The function should return `true` if the feature is supported, `false` if it is not supported, `null` if the feature is unknown, or string for the module purpose for some features.
+
+Each feature is identified by a constant, which is defined in the `lib
+/moodlelib.php` file. Some of the available features are:
+
+- `FEATURE_GROUPS` and `FEATURE_GROUPINGS`: The activity module supports groups and groupings.
+- `FEATURE_SHOW_DESCRIPTION`: The activity module supports showing the description on the course page.
+- `FEATURE_QUICKCREATE`: The activity `[modname]_add_instance()` function is able to create an instance without showing a form using the default settings. It is used by the `core_courseformat_create_module` webservice to know which activities are compatible. If this feature is supported, the activity module should provide a `quickcreatename` string in the language file that will be used as the name of the instance created.

 To have your Activity plugin classified in the right Activity category, you must define the function `[modname]_supports` and add the `FEATURE_MOD_PURPOSE` constant:
