@Nitwel I installed 2 interfaces to test this, one via index.js file directly in the extensions folder and one via npm. Neither showed up in the extensions list to enable/disable. I must be missing something, any guidance?

Did you get some sort of error in the console @ConnorSimply? When you are able to see the installed extensions in Directus, you should also be able to see them there.

@Nitwel There were no errors when I tested this. However, did notice some things.I had to rebuild dev to get the package installed via pnpm to show up, thats ok. I installed two packages one via pnpm and one with an index file in the extensions folder. The installed via pnpm showed up in the list, the index file one did not.

The interface I installed via pnpm and is in the list was a display. Enabling and disabling the extension did nothing, and when the extension was disabled it still used the display extension.

Is it supposed to enable/disable only certain types of extensions or should it work on all of them?

Are you accessing the app in dev mode, cause that might be a reason. Maybe try it build from the api and that should work fine.

@Nitwel Mind resolving the merge conflicts and providing a description of what this PR adds and how it works exactly? 🙂 the UI screenshot itself is obvious, but I'm very curious to learn more about new endpoints, database tables, etc
