Before you send a project to someone, or open the one they sent you, Sessions reads which plugins the set needs and names the ones this computer is missing. Plugin Passport turns your plugin collection into a small file you can hand over, so two producers can compare whole collections before either of them wastes an afternoon. Both work whatever either of you produces in.

Missing 3 of 12 pluginsExport your plugin collection as a tiny file. Swap with a collaborator and see what crosses over: both have / only them / only you. Works whatever either of you produces in.
