Can we confirm with design where the menu should appear? My guess is under Purchases as the Figma design did not show it in the main menu.

Thanks for the review, @jkguidaven! I noticed this and thought it was missed. Anyway, let's verify.
@jeffgolenski: Could you please let us know where should the Licenses page be?

@jeffgolenski, @keoshi: Could you please let us know where should the Licenses page be?
Good point!
We could replicate Jetpack Manage, but I wonder if Licenses are treated differently in A4A, since they're purchased in “Marketplace” first.
@jeffgolenski Do you have any idea here? Are we treating “Licenses” as part of a larger section (like “Purchases”) or keeping it as a top-level item? Not totally convinced, but I like the idea of putting it inside “Purchases” maybe.
Also cc'ing @simonktnga8c in case there's a bigger strategic move here that I'm not considering.
@yashwin @keoshi @simonktnga8c @jkguidaven
- I personally think we should build the license purchasing under the "marketplace" tab as seen in this flow starting to take shape
- For licensing management I'd say move that under purchases.
We outlined the info architecture here: JcgXpF2SI5nPG2vfFDDoFZ-fi-4446_27868. To me it makes the most sense to designate the marketplace (future purchases) from the products already purchased early on so we can expand this in the future.
I imagine we'll eventually have the "purchases" area outline products, hosting, extensions, add-ons, and more.
What @jeffgolenski said :)
Thanks everyone for the feedback!
