Backbone Hooks & Filters Reference
The Backbone Framework has been carefully sprinkled with actions and filters that external code can hook into, injecting new functionality into the standard flow. In this article we list a complete list of hooks and filters that have been built into the Backbone Framework.
Using Action and Filter Hooks in Backbone
Backbone implements a series of actions and filters to make it easy for you to plug in your own sets of code into the theme, whatever the purpose may be. For example, with an action hook, you could add a chunk of HTML code to show an image in the header of all pages without having to touch the header.php template. With a filter hook, you can change the format of the dates shown in posts. There are other examples and you could look into and to learn about hooks in detail, please refer to this hooks and filters documentation on WordPress.org. Just before we start, please understand the basic difference between action hook and filter hooks. Action hooks are executed when certain WordPress events occur while filter hooks are executed throughout the whole page loading process, from the beginning to the end. Filter hooks are particularly useful for text and/or content manipulation.

The recommended way to customize Backbone Framework and keep track of all your changes is to create a child theme. It is not as hard as you might think.

By using a child theme, you can make all of the same modifications as you would to the Backbone Framework, make changes to the markup (adding extra divs or wrapper for styling).

What is a Child Theme?
From the WordPress Codex:
A WordPress child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme, and allows you to modify, or add to, the functionality of that parent theme.
A basic child theme consists of only a style.css file. If you plan on using the available Action Hooks and Filters in Backbone, you will also need to create a functions.php file. You can also add a screenshot.png file too, which is your theme’s thumbnail that will show up on the Appearance -> Themes page.
