## Manage plugins

KnowledgeTree allows the use of Plugins that extend the functionality of the document management system.

View descriptions of the plugins on the Plugins Index at the KnowledgeTree Forge.

### Updating Plugins

The plugins list must be re-read from the filesystem in the following instances:

- if you have moved the location of your KnowledgeTree installation to another server
- after installing or upgrading KnowledgeTree
- if you have installed new plugins or removed unwanted plugins from the filesystem

Rereading the plugins from the filesystem refreshes the plugins list that displays on the Manage Plugins page in the DMS.

### Enabling and Disabling Plugins

Most plugins are enabled by default. To enable a plugin so that you can use this functionality in the system, select the check box adjacent to the plugin name. To disable a plugin, deselect the check box. When you're done, save your changes.
