Usually, installing and synchronizing extensions are performed as two distinct operations. To enable force synchronization in online environments, install and sync can now also be performed as one transactional operation per database, available for PowerShell scripts on-premises.

Explanation -

Till Business Central 18, if you have to add a New Extension in on-Prem Business Central Environment that can be done with 3 PowerShell commands.
