PlugiGroups allows you to order plugins into groups and manage them.

## Using PlugiGroups

Open PlugiGroups from the ribbon or command palette, in a tab or a separate window.

Hover over a plugin row or focus its controls to see its description, version, and author below its name. Enable **Always show plugin descriptions** in settings to keep that information visible.

- **Organize:** Create, rename, and reorder groups. Add plugins by dragging them, using **Move to** on the Ungrouped section, or selecting **+ Add plugin** on the target group.
- **Plugin order:** Drag a plugin above or below another plugin within a group. The insertion line shows its new position, and each group remembers its own order, or choose to order them alphabetically.
- **Multiple groups:** Plugins belong to one group by default. Enable **Allow plugins in multiple groups** in settings to assign them to several.
- **Find:** Search all plugins by name or ID, or search only **Ungrouped**—plugins not assigned to any group.
- **Manage:** Enable or disable individual plugins or whole groups. Each plugin offers quick access to its settings, plus other typical resources, just like the native Obsidian menu.
- **Remove:** Deleting a group keeps its plugins installed and preserves any other group memberships.

## Plugin controls

- Use a plugin's switch to enable or disable it. A group's switch controls all installed plugins in that group.
- Click a plugin to open its settings. Plugins without a settings page open in **Core plugins** or **Community plugins**, according to their type.
- Each community plugin's **⋯** menu links to its details and community page, plus settings, hotkeys, and donation links when available. You can also reveal its local folder or uninstall it.

PlugiGroups stays enabled if you switch off a group that contains it.

## CLI support
