# Decision 0004: Server Content Manager Is The Workshop Layer

## Status

Accepted

## Decision

`Panel/modules/addonsmanager` should remain the primary future home for Workshop items, mods, add-ons, and server content. `steam_workshop` should remain a deprecated compatibility layer only.

## Reasoning

- `addonsmanager` already has the richer schema and more complete product direction.
- It supports content types beyond Steam Workshop.
- It is a better fit for load order, enable/disable, install history, and metadata.

## Alternatives Considered

- keep `steam_workshop` as the main module
- split mods, add-ons, and Workshop into separate modules

## Why Those Were Not Chosen

- `steam_workshop` is explicitly deprecated in the codebase.
- Separate modules would fragment user workflows and duplicate install logic.
