6.0 Builtins

This page lists plug-ins packaged with each release of Gramps... the "built-ins". There are also dozens of plug-ins that are Third-party Addons, written by users and developers to work only with Gramps version 5.2. All plugins (whether built-in or add-on) can be enabled, hidden or disabled with the Plugin Manager.

Gramps comes with a core set of plugins which provide all of the critical features.

However, you can extend this functionality with additional Third-party Addons. These addons provide reports, filters, View modes, Gramplets, and more.

From Gramps [[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#General|Preferences]], you can check for available extra (or updated) addons and select which to download. Then, they will be retrieved from the internet from the Gramps-Project file server and installed locally on your computer.

Once installed, an addon is found in the same place as a built-in feature of the same Type. That is, Tool addons become new menu items on the Tools menu... while addon Gramplets become new choices in the appropriate Category View sidebar, bottombar or Dashboard options.

Installed addons can be enabled or disabled via the [[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Plugin_Manager|Plugin Manager]].

Can not find it? The Plugin Manager and Preferences are good places to search when a feature is being elusive. Addons are not typically cross-referenced in the wiki and might not be where you would expect in the interface. What you recalled as a Report might actually be a Quick View... and those are found in entirely different menus. Or you might have installed an Addon for a different machine or in another version of Gramps. So looking through the addons available for download and among those installed can help you rediscover the feature.
