A plugin is an add-on to the core Crucible code, used to extend the Crucible functionality. Some plugins are shipped with Crucible, others are available for you to install yourself. You can develop additional plugins (see the Crucible Developer docs ) or download existing plugins from the Atlassian Plugin Exchange, and install them into your Crucible system. On this page:

Notes

• Plugin Safety. Plugins are very powerful. They can change the behaviour of almost any part of the Crucible server. This makes it very important that you trust a plugin before you install it. Always be aware of where and who a plugin comes from.
