Dashboard>Add_Functionality compared to Marketplace

(I am a beginner.)

I see there are two sources for Add-Ons and Themes: Dashboard>Add_Functionality and Marketplace. How are they different? Is there a recommendation of when and how to use each?

They both work..

From the marketplace (when visiting concrete5.org directly) you can download themes and add-ons and MANUALLY install them.

From the dashboard you can go through to the marketplace, download and install themes and add-ons AUTOMATICALLY.

If your website is connected to the community then I would just download direct from the dashboard.. It's a great timesaver.
