I found a post by Matt Mulvaney from back in 2015 about [APEX 5.0 Packaged Application Plugins](https://content.dsp.co.uk/apex/packaged-app-plugins). As you know APEX 21.1 landed recently and with it came a revamp of how Productivity and Sampled Applications are accessed. So, this felt like a fitting topic to revisit! Productivity and Sampled Applications are no longer distributed with [APEX](https://www.dsp.co.uk/oracle-apex-services); instead, sample and starter applications are available from [GitHub](https://github.com/oracle/apex). From there, they can be downloaded as zip files and drag and dropped into the Import page of App Builder (APEX now supports the export and import of applications as zip files). To use a plugin from one of these applications, install the application, go into it in App Builder and export the plugin. Then, simply import it into your own application. Many of the plugins mentioned in the 2015 blog are still present in 2021, although there have been some changes to what is bundled, and where. The plugins fall into three categories: regions, items and dynamic actions. N.B. While the applications in which plugins can be found are listed, not all applications actually utilise the plugins. For instance, the Gantt Chart plugin can be found within the sample calendar, but it is not used anywhere within the application. --- Find out how we can help you build solutions using Oracle APEX with our award winning [application development and consultancy services](https://www.dsp.co.uk/oracle-apex-services).
