Plugins

Customize your experience further by utilizing plugins. Add new features and optimize your performance in the easiest way possible. Depending on your plan's configuration, a new instance might come with plugins handpicked by your administrator.

In the "Plugins" section of the instance details, you will find a list of plugins already installed. If there are no plugins installed, you will see the New Plugins section instead, which you can browse to find your first plugins. Both sections can be displayed as a list view or a tile view. Make sure to use the search function if needed.

Installed Plugins

The plugins that came pre-installed with your instance and the ones you have installed yourself can be found here. The list view and the tile view provide the same information and options in different layouts.

Tile View

• Each tile includes the name and a short description of the plugin. Clicking Read More will display the full description.
• The symbol next to the name indicates if the plugin is up to date.
• The status is indicated by colored or gray highlight atop each tile.
• You can deactivate, activate, or remove installed plugins by clicking their respective action button at the bottom of a tile.
• Perform actions in bulk by selecting multiple or all plugins at once. Checkboxes appear to the left of each plugin while your cursor is within the tile's borders. The option to select all appears on the bar at the bottom of your screen after you select at least one plugin.
• You can sort the list by Name or Status using the dropdown menu next to the search function above the tiles.

New Plugins

To install a completely new plugin, click the Add New button to the right of the search bar.

Use the search bar to find your desired plugins or pick one of the popular search tags. The search results can be sorted by popularity, rating, or recency.

If you cannot find a specific plugin, it may have been blacklisted by your administrator. Blacklisted plugins are automatically filtered from search results and cannot be installed, even from a ZIP file. If a plugin is already installed but blacklisted, the activation action will be disabled with a tooltip explaining why.
