Thanks to object inheritance, you can change a controller's behaviors, or add new ones.

Warning
titleKeep overrides for your own shop

Overrides in PrestaShop are exclusive. This means that if your module overrides one of PrestaShop's behaviors, another module will not be able to use that behavior properly, or override it in an predictable way.

Therefore, overrides should only be used for your own local modules, when you have a specific need that cannot be applied with it.

It is not recommended to use an override in a module that you intend to distribute (for instance through the PrestaShop Addons marketplace), and they are forbidden in partner modules.

PrestaShop's controllers are all stored in the /controllers folder, and use the "Core" suffix.
