After uploading the plugin to your Typemill installation, please refresh the page with the listed plugins, and the new plugin should be part of the list. To activate a plugin, just click on the activate checkbox at the top.

Configure a Plugin

Each plugin can have very individual configuration options. To open the configuration options, click on the configuration button of a plugin. Some plugins add new items to the system navigation, where you have more configuration options. The plugin directory provides more details for each plugin.
