# Package Plugin

This article will elaborate in detail on how to package plugins and publish them to the Eagle Plugin Center.

## Exporting Your Plugin as an Eagle Plugin <a href="#fqk6i" id="fqk6i"></a>

1. Open the plugin panel (or press the `P` key)

Next, go to the Eagle Plugin submission page, upload the `.eagleplugin` file, and provide the required information. The submission first goes through an [initial scan](/plugin-api/plugin-review/review.md#stage-1-initial-scan), then proceeds to human review. Complete the [pre-submission checklist](/plugin-api/publishing/prepare.md) before uploading.
