-By default, ``plugins/__init__.py`` is not provided; although, there are
-plans to support subcommands that would manage this file. It is especially
-useful to create this file for projects that involve usage of the same
-plugins. Alternatively, you may manually specify the plugins in your project
-scripts.
+For specifing multiple plugins, command separated values must be used.

+Here ``name`` is the name of the module of the plugin.

+itself. For example,

+    "manim_plugintemplate" = "manim_plugintemplate"
+
+Here a module is used as ``object_reference``, and when this plugin is enabled,
+Manim will look for ``__all__`` keyword defined in ``manim_plugintemplate`` and
+everything as a global variable one by one.
+
+If ``object_reference`` is a function, Manim calls the function and expects the
+function returns a list of modules or functions that needs to defined globally and
+it defined it.

+.. code-block:: toml
+
+    [tool.poetry.plugins."manim.plugins"]

+
+Here, Manim will call the function ``setup_things`` defined in
+``manim_awesomeplugin.imports`` and calls that. It returns a list of function or
+modules which will be imported globally.
