The Store is a centralized hub to discover, enable or disable, and install new plugins. Each and every plugin has the ability to extend or restrict the way i-net CoWork can be used. The interface offers an overview of all available plugins and their state. Using categories from the top bar, as well as using the search, the list of plugins can be narrowed down.

The list of plugins is updated regularly to provide new features and updates of i-net CoWork. The interval can be set in the top right-hand side menu of the interface.

Plugins can be installed and updated in this overview - or on the plugin details page. Plugins are also activated or deactivated on the details page. If a plugin requires additional dependencies, the user will be prompted to enable them as well. Uninstalling plugins that were not originally installed with the i-net CoWork is available too.

Note: In case the plugin list can not be updated, the interface still offers functionalities to enable or disable and to sideload custom plugins from the Public Store at store.inetsoftware.de.

Note: Plugins may be offered in beta versions that are usually not production ready but can be used in development and staging environments. The top right-hand side menu lets you enable the beta mode and install these pre-release plugins. The detail page of the plugin also shows when it is available as a beta version. Switching to the beta channel is also possible there.

The Tab Installed offers an overview of the current installation state of the server. It provides information about the current i-net CoWork version, as well as possible product updates and the changelog.

It also provides a grouped view of the installed, updatable, disabled and faulty plugins. If multiple plugins can be updated, an additional "Update All" button appears.

Every plugin provides additional information, including a description, version information, the changelog of its current state - also, in case the plugin could not be started, a specific error message is shown here.

The detail page offers the aforementioned functions for installing, updating, etc., as well as the options to switch to the beta channel. Plugins that offer applications on the start page and are already active offer a link to this application in the options menu.

The information area provides an overview of fixed and optional dependencies, as well as a listing of other plugins that extend the functionality of this plugin.

The developer information area provides information for various package managers and developer tools on how to add this plugin.

The Store allows sideloading plugins from external sources by dragging & dropping the plugin zip files into the store interface or using the menu button at the right side of the categories bar.

This makes it possible to add and update custom plugins directly in the web interface.

Sideloading can be used if the i-net CoWork server has no connection to the internet and plugins from the Public Store are to be installed. These can then be downloaded from the public store and installed in the store of the server via drag & drop.
