# Plugins shipped with IDA

IDA is natively shipped with repository of pre-installed plugins, that are inside `plugins` directory in your IDA installation folder. Some of these plugins provide essential features such as debugging or decompiler capabilities. These internal plugins are integrated into the IDA environment and cannot be accessed or executed in the same manner as standard built-in plugins.

## Accessing built-in plugins

Built-in plugins can be accessed through:

* Menu entries under **Edit → Plugins**
* Keyboard shortcuts assigned to specific plugins
* Specialized submenus

## Advanced Plugin Concepts

Although some of the built-in plugins are quite simple and straightforward in their functionality, the following guides provide detailed instructions for using more advanced plugins:
