Plugins
Extend.
Don't bloat.
What plugins can do
Extend the UI anyway and anywhere you want
Plugins can add new field types, replace builtin ones, extend sidebars, extend assets, or create whole new screens.
If you’re working with other services, integrate with them to interact with other APIs within DatoCMS, all in a browser-safe, scoped way.
How flexible is the CMS? Yes.
Private and community plugins
Share it with the world, or keep it to yourself. We won’t judge.
Plugins you create are yours. If you’re working on something proprietary, hyper-specific, internal tooling related, or just don’t think it’s nice to expose it, keep it private!
If you’ve got something to share with the world, publish it to the marketplace.

Reusable features, minimal overhead
... Equally loved by agencies and web dev shops.
Agencies use plugins to ship client-specific requests and deliver repeatable, white-labeled components like SEO lists, tag injectors, review widgets, and so much more.
No need to rebuild things every time. Just drop in the plugin and configure it per client, done.
