Introduction

Plugins add new functionality to October. This can be anything (e.g. invoicing, customer relations, learning management, etc.). Plugins can also overrule any aspect of October or any other plugin. Some plugins allow you to configure all sort of things without writing a single line of code but to truely appreciate the full capabilities of October you should extend the existing dunctionality offered by October and other plugins with your own modifications. The most flexible way to do this is to write your own plugin. Please see https://octobercms.com/docs/plugin/extending for more information.
