> See also: [Feature: #107628 - Improved backend module naming and structure](https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-core/main/en-us/Changelog/14.0/Feature-107628-ImprovedBackendModuleNamingAndStructure.html#feature-107628-1729026000).

Only available if [`typo3/cms-extensionmanager`](https://packagist.org/packages/typo3/cms-extensionmanager) is installed.

The backend module **System > Extensions**, also called
"Extension Manager", can be used in Composer-based extensions to view which
TYPO3 extensions are installed. In non-Composer installation (not in the scope
of this guide) they can also be used to install and activate extensions:
