 Tasks in QGIS, Managing and Installing Plugins Plugins are a vital design component in QGIS. They allow for new features and functions to be added to your project, which in turn provides you the user with additional functionality. The QGIS Plugins repository can provide you with an extensive list of all plugins available for download. To manage and install plugins, select Plugins in the top menu bar and click on Manage and Install Plugins. When the Plugins window opens, you can view all plugins, the plugins that are currently installed, not installed, installed from ZIP, and Settings. If you have a plugin installed which requires an upgrade, an Upgradable tab will appear here. To activate and deactivate plugins, select the Install tab. Here you can see the plugins that are currently installed, as well as their activation status. To activate a plugin, check the box next to it and to deactivate a plugin, uncheck its corresponding box. To install and uninstall plugins, select the Non-Installed tab. Here you can see the plugins that are not currently installed but are available for download. To install a plugin, type your desired plugin into the search bar. Select the plugin you wish to install and select Install Plugin. Select Installed and your plugin will appear. You will now have access to all of its functions and features. To uninstall a plugin, select it from the Install tab and click on the plugin. Select Uninstall Plugin. Please take note, some plugins are core plugins. They do not allow the option to be uninstalled. For more information on QGIS, visit the UTM Library QGIS playlist.
