A plugin is a bundle of connectors and skills packaged around a job you want Perplexity Computer to do. Instead of finding the right connector, installing the matching skills, and explaining how they fit together, you install one plugin and Computer gets everything at once. Plugins, connectors, and skills all live on the **Plugins** page in the sidebar. You can still find, connect, install, and manage connectors and skills on their own. Plugins add a faster starting point on top of them. ## What a plugin contains Every plugin has a name, a description, and at least one of the following: A plugin can be a single connector, a single skill, or a combination. A plugin with one connector uses that connector's name and icon, so the **Microsoft 365** plugin looks the same as the Microsoft 365 connector you may already know. A plugin with several connectors or skills is named after the job it does. > [!NOTE] > > Skills installed through a plugin are copies you manage through the plugin. Some bundled skills are managed through their plugin rather than installed on their own. A connector connected through a plugin is connected for your account everywhere. ## One action for each item Each type of item has one main action. You **Install** a plugin: its skills are installed right away. If it has one connector, the connection flow opens automatically. If it has several, choose which accounts to connect, and connect the rest later from the plugin page. You **Connect** a connector, which signs you in to the external tool and authorizes Computer to use it. You **Install** a skill, which is enabled automatically; turn it off with its **Enabled** switch without uninstalling it. A plugin shows each connector's status: **Connected**, **Connect**, **Disabled by your organization**, **Unavailable**, or **Upgrade required**. If a connector needs reconnecting, open the **Installed** tab and select **Reconnect** next to it. If a connector is blocked, the plugin stays installed, but Computer cannot use that connector until your plan or organization settings allow it. For the full walkthrough, see [Find, install, and remove plugins](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/2026100702-find-install-and-remove-plugins.md). To use a plugin in a session, type **/** and select it under **Plugins**. Computer loads the plugin's enabled skills for that task. ## Plugins and your organization If you belong to an Enterprise organization, your organization administrator's connector settings apply wherever a connector appears, including inside plugins. A plugin never grants access to a connector your organization has disabled or restricted to other roles, and installing a plugin never connects an account on your behalf. The **Organization** tab on the Plugins page shows the plugins, connectors, and skills your organization has shared with you. Administrators manage connectors on **Organization settings → Connectors** and plugins and skills on **Organization settings → Plugins and skills**. See [Role-based access control for connectors](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/2026100201-role-based-access-control-for-connectors.md) and [Enterprise roles and permissions](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/11187754-enterprise-roles-and-permissions.md). ## Availability > [!NOTE] > > The Plugins page is available on the web, in the desktop apps, and in the mobile apps. Plugins that include skills need a plan that includes [Perplexity Computer](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/13837784-what-is-computer.md). Plugins are rolling out gradually, starting with individual plans and Self-Serve Enterprise organizations. Plugins are coming soon to sales-assisted Enterprise plans. Until then, members and admins keep using Connectors and Skills. If you don't see Plugins in the sidebar yet, keep using **Customize → Connectors** and **Skills**. Everything there works as before. If you are an Enterprise administrator, see [Manage plugins for your organization](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/2026100801-manage-plugins-for-your-organization.md) for organization-level controls. ## Related articles ## Need more help?
