The Joomla component has several levels of presence in the admin panel. The simplest level is created by the component installer: if the manifest contains <administration><menu>...</menu></administration>, Joomla will add the item to the protected admin menutype=main. But this is often not enough. A normal component needs groups of links, quick actions, links to categories, fields, workflow, dashboard, separate sets of items for different administrative modules, and the ability to add or hide items dynamically.
To do this, Joomla 6.1 uses the menu preset mechanism.
