PluginManager

PluginManager replaces the Installed Plugins section with a clearer interface for administrators and developers. It groups installation details, compatibility information and troubleshooting guidance in one place. Administrators can install published plugins from the Plugin Directory and review experimental or unlisted plugins separately.
