Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
Current options for managing add-ons installed by third parties and system administrators are limited. We allow disabling but not uninstalling. These add-ons are still in the way and users do not want to see them anymore. We should allow uninstalling these add-ons by making the remove button simply hide them from the list. The user should be given a way to re-install these add-ons, the Available Add-ons section has been suggested.
This feature falls primarily in the Experience category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)
2. Users & use cases
- The remove button for third-party add-ons should appear to work the same as for normal add-ons
- Available Add-ons should include hidden third party add-ons on the system
3. Dependencies
`
4. Requirements
- Developed UI must pass UI review
- Feature should be covered by automated tests
Non-goals
