Using the GUI
The Plugin Manager panel provides a graphical interface for managing plugins. It allows users to view currently installed plugins, check for available updates, install new plugins, and deactivate or remove existing ones. The panel displays installed and available plugins in a unified layout: plugin categories are listed on the left, and selecting a plugin shows its description on the right. Changes made during a session (such as installations, updates, or removals) are listed in a review area at the bottom of the panel.
