We are having difficulties finding and managing the apps and plugins installed in Shopware 6 within the admin area. Since many standard features from SW5 have been removed and must now be replaced by apps, there is no central overview for these extensions. The apps are spread out across different sections, without a clear indication of which plugin provides which functionality. This leads to issues with managing and identifying extensions.

Note from Shopware Support:
We think it's a very good idea. For many colleagues in support, it is often very difficult to find out which plugin inserts which functions and where these are configured.

Main Issues:

Scattered Apps: Apps are spread out across various sections of the admin area (e.g., Marketing, System, Settings), making them difficult to find.

No Clear Function Assignment: After installation, it is often unclear which plugin is responsible for which function. Only after disabling a plugin does it become apparent what it was doing.

Challenges with CMS Plugins: With multiple CMS plugins active at the same time, it’s almost impossible to figure out which plugin is being used in which Shopping Experience without manually testing each one.

Shopify Example:
We find that Shopify has a clear structure where all apps are centrally located under one "Apps" section, with direct access to configuration, making it super easy to manage.

Use Cases for Clarification:

1 - Finding an App:
If i want to configure a recently installed plugin. However, it is scattered across the admin area (e.g., partly under Marketing, partly under System), and there is no central overview. The user wastes time searching for the app.

Use Case 2 - Unclear Function Assignment:
As a shop owner, i noticed a functionality in our shop (e.g., "Products in saved shopping carts" under Marketing) but does not know whether it’s part of the core system or added by a plugin. Suggestion: Clearly indicate which function is provided by which plugin.

Wanted improvements:

Introduce a central "Plugin" section where all installed extensions are listed and can be configured.

Clearly label in the admin area which functions belong to which plugins. Maybe with an Icon and text on hover.

Improve the identification of CMS plugins within Shopping Experiences.
