The marketplace manager in the `\/plugin` menu has these changes:\n\n- A built-in marketplace entry is listed. It shows as on, off, or blocked by your organization.\n\n- \"Turn on\" and \"Turn off\" actions for that entry. Turning it off leaves plugins you installed from it installed.\n\n- A note when auto-update is set to off for a marketplace in `extraKnownMarketplaces`.\n\n- The Discover tab shows a message when your organization's policy hides every plugin it would list. Before, it showed nothing.\n\n- The plugin details view has a \"Switch to\" action for moving to another copy of the same plugin.\n\nClaude Code checks whether the built-in marketplace is available before it shows the entry, and can hide it.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese are new options in the plugin menu. You can now control the built-in marketplace from there, and you get an explanation where you used to see an empty screen.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `\/plugin`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
