Introduction

Advanced Tools (App overview tools) can be found inside the App Composer

In the latest App Composer update, developers now have a comprehensive set of tools to analyze how app resources like scripts, queries, plugins, and integrations are utilized in the app design. 

It is a new plugin type that has been introduced, enabling further extension of app composer features should any users wish to extend/add the features on the Advanced Tools (App Overview tools) itself.
