# How to connect and use plugins

A plugin is an extension that adds new features to Tracker that are not included in the standard set of capabilities. For example, a new interface element, an integration with an external system, or an AI assistant. With plugins, users can solve narrow or team-specific tasks on their own without waiting for the required features to be implemented in the Tracker service core.

Not only the Tracker team can create plugins for Tracker. Third-party developers can also create plugins for their organization's employees or add them to the public catalog to share their plugins with all Tracker users.

You can find and enable useful plugins in the catalog. Plugins are divided into categories, while search and filters help you find a solution for a specific task. The rating and number of installations show how popular the plugin is among other users.  If there is no ready-made solution, you can develop your own plugin. [How to create a plugin](https://www.yandex.ru/support/tracker/en/plugins/one-pager.md)


Before connecting plugins, review the [Terms of Use for the Yandex 360 services plugin catalog](https://yandex.ru/legal/360_plugin_termsofuse/ru/).

_Plugin catalog_

Before a plugin in the catalog becomes available for users to connect, the Tracker administrator must add it to the organization. If the plugin you need is not yet available, you can [request its connection](#request-plugin).

You can enable a plugin for yourself, for a queue, or both at the same time:

- **For a queue** — if you are the queue owner or administrator, you can connect a plugin to it. The plugin will work in all issues of the selected queue and will be available to all team members.

- **For yourself** — the plugin will only be available to the users who connected it, in their browser. Any employee can connect a plugin for themselves.

{% note warning "" %}

The platform isolates plugins and limits their capabilities with the granted permissions. The plugin performs actions on behalf of the user and cannot access Tracker data that the user does not have access to.

{% endnote %}
