Hi team,

there are so many inconsistencies in documentation right now I had to create this issue.

With the new release of VS 2022 17.10.0 Preview 2.0 I expected to be able to find a way for Winui C# templates (e.g. for unit testing).
For Windows App SDK Release 1.5.1 there is this addition made:
"The Windows App Visual Studio Extensions (VSIX) are no longer distributed as a separate download. They are available in the Visual Studio Marketplace inside Visual Studio."

I can't find a "Marketplace inside Visual Studio" - I think it is just called "Manage Extension". Also it would be helpful to state the name of the extension, because "The Windows App Visual Studio Extensions (VSIX)" is not helpful (not an extension). The marketplace inside Visual studio is a website, actually. But that "inside Visual Studio" means something different to me. Like the actual IDE running on my PC.

Also, Are you aware of this?

NOTE: With Windows App SDK 1.2, the extension [no longer supports Visual Studio 2019](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/stable-channel#version-12-stable). Instead, the Windows App SDK C# templates are now available as a [workload option](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/set-up-your-development-environment?tabs=cs-vs-community%2ccpp-vs-community%2cvs-2022-17-1-a%2cvs-2022-17-1-b#required-workloads-and-components) in Visual Studio 2022.

Please make the documentation consistent at all places and remove deprecated extension descriptions.
