Where can you check the list of your extensions in Magento 2?
- Open your admin panel
- Navigate to Stores => Configuration => Advanced => Advanced
Here you can see the list of your extensions.
Note that the ones with prefix “Magento_” are default ones. On this screenshot you can see 2 BelVG extensions and a number of default Magento extensions.
