327* **Installed plugins** appear at the top with toggle switches to enable or disable them
327* **Installed plugins** appear at the top with toggle switches to enable or disable them.
328 * If you turn off a plugin that your project's shared `.claude/settings.json` turns on, the extension asks first: **Disable for me** turns it off only for you, while **Disable for everyone** changes the shared file.
328329* **Available plugins** from your configured marketplaces appear below
329330* Search to filter plugins by name or description
330331* Click **Install** on any available plugin
from line 336
335336* **Install for this project**: shared with project collaborators (project scope)
336337* **Install locally**: only for you, only in this repository (local scope)
337338
339Once the install finishes, a form asks for any of the plugin's [configuration options](/docs/en/plugins/components#user-configuration) that aren't set yet. To review or change the options later, click the gear icon on the plugin's row.
340
341Sensitive text fields are masked, and a secret you saved earlier shows **(unchanged)**. Leave the field blank to keep the saved value.
342
343After you save changes, the open sessions reload their plugins and the dialog shows **Restart Claude to apply plugin changes**.

345### Uninstall plugins
346
347Each installed row names the [scope](/docs/en/plugins/install#choose-an-install-scope) it's installed at. To uninstall that installation, click the row's trash icon. A dimmed trash icon marks a row you can't uninstall from this workspace, such as a plugin your organization manages or one installed for another project.
348
349The extension asks first in two cases:
350
351* **A plugin your project's shared `.claude/settings.json` turns on**: choose **Disable for me**, which keeps the plugin installed for your collaborators, or **Uninstall for everyone**, which removes the project's installation with [`--keep-data`](/docs/en/plugins/cli-reference#what-an-uninstall-deletes-and-keeps), so the plugin's saved data directory stays. If you already turned the plugin off for yourself, the trash icon removes your own installation without the question.
352* **Otherwise, the last installation of a plugin with saved data**: choose whether to keep or delete the data; **Keep** is the default

340356To send someone straight to installing a specific plugin, give them the extension's `install-plugin` URL. Opening it launches or focuses VS Code, opens the Claude Code panel, and opens the **Manage plugins** dialog on that plugin's scope choice. Nothing installs until the person picks a scope. If the plugin's marketplace isn't configured in their Claude Code yet, the dialog first asks them to add it.

366382* Enter a GitHub repo, URL, or local path to add a new marketplace
367383* Click the refresh icon to update a marketplace's plugin list
368* Click the trash icon to remove a marketplace
384* Click the trash icon to remove a marketplace. Removing it [uninstalls every plugin you installed from it](/docs/en/plugins/install#manage-marketplaces), so a confirmation names those plugins first

370Plugin changes you make in the dialog apply right away to the Claude Code sessions open in that VS Code window. If the session you opened the dialog from can't reload its plugins, the dialog offers to try again or to restart Claude in that session.

373391 Plugin management in VS Code uses the same CLI commands under the hood. Plugins and marketplaces you configure in the extension are also available in the CLI, and vice versa.
No line in this hunk matches that.
