The Equipment Catalog panel lists all automation equipment registered by installed extensions. You can browse components, view their specifications, and copy their IDs directly into your sequence actions.
The catalog is located in the AutomationView sidebar (the AutomationView icon in the activity bar). It is populated by extensions. Without any extension installed, the panel displays an empty state.
