# Plugins

Matrix functionality is composed from plugins. This index points to the detailed plugin pages and
the owner docs for each plugin instead of duplicating everything in one large document.

Use [Matrix plugin coordination](plugin-coordination.md) when you want to understand how plugins
work together rather than what one plugin owns in isolation.
