Gramps comes with a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets|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, [[Gramps_Glossary#viewmode|View modes]], Gramplets, and more.
From Gramps [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_Gramps_5.2_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 [[Addon_list_legend#Type|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_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Plugin_Manager|Plugin Manager]].
{{Man tip|Can not find it?|The Plugin Manager and Preferences are good places to search when a feature is being elusive.
