+*******************
+Presto C++ Plugins
+*******************
+
+This chapter outlines the plugins in Presto C++ that are available for various use cases such as to load User Defined Functions (UDFs), connectors, or types.
+

+    :maxdepth: 1
+
+    plugin/function_plugin
+
+
+Setup
+----------------
+
+1. Place the plugin shared libraries in the ``plugins`` directory.
+
+2. Set the ``plugin.dir`` property to the path of the ``plugins`` directory in the ``config.properties`` file of each of your workers.
+
+3. Run the coordinator and workers to load your plugins.

+=======================
+
+Creating a Shared Library for UDFs
+----------------------------------
+
+1. To create the UDF, create a new C++ file which follows the following format:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+   #include "presto_cpp/main/dynamic_registry/DynamicFunctionRegistrar.h"
+
+   template <typename T>
+   struct nameOfStruct {
+      FOLLY_ALWAYS_INLINE bool call(int64_t& result) {
+         ...
+      }
+   };
+
+   extern "C" {
+      void registry() {
+         facebook::presto::registerPrestoFunction<
+            nameOfStruct,
+            int64_t>("function_name");
+         }
+   }  
+
+Note: the int64_t return type can be changed as needed. For more examples, See the `README <https://github.com/prestodb/presto-native-execution/main/dynamic_registry/README.md>`_ 
+
+2. Create a shared library which may be made using CMakeLists like the following:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   add_library(name_of_dynamic_fn SHARED TestFunction.cpp)
+   target_link_libraries(name_of_dynamic_fn PRIVATE fmt::fmt Folly::folly gflags::gflags)
+
+3. `Drop your shared libraries into the plugin directory <../plugin.rst>`_

+# Dynamic Loading of Presto CPP Extensions
+This library adds the ability to load User Defined Functions (UDFs), connectors, or types without having to fork and build Prestissimo, through the use of shared libraries that a Prestissimo worker can access. These are loaded on launch of the Presto server. The Presto server searches for any .so or .dylib files and loads them using this library.
+## Getting started
+1. Create a cpp file for your dynamic library
+
+For dynamically loaded function registration, the format is similar to that of built-in function registration, with some noted differences. Using [MyDynamicFunction.cpp](examples/MyDynamicFunction.cpp) as an example, the function uses the extern "C" keyword to protect against name mangling. A registry() function call is also necessary here.
+2. Register functions dynamically by creating .dylib or .so shared libraries and dropping them in a plugin directory
+
+These shared libraries may be made using CMakeLists like the following:
+```
+add_library(name_of_dynamic_fn SHARED TestFunction.cpp)
+target_link_libraries(name_of_dynamic_fn PRIVATE fmt::fmt Folly::folly gflags::gflags)
+```
+3. In the Prestissimo worker's config.properties file, set the plugin.dir property
+
+Set the value of plugin.dir to the file path of the directory where the shared libraries are located.  
+```
+plugin.dir="User\Test\Path\plugin"
+```
+When the worker or the sidecar process starts, it scans the plugin directory and attempts to dynamically load all shared libraries.
