 # [Unreleased](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/)
 
+## Breaking changes
+
+- PyBaMM now has optional dependencies that can be installed with the pattern `pip install pybamm[option]` e.g. `pybamm[plot]` ([#3044](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/3044))
+
 ## Bug fixes
 
 - Parameters in `Prada2013` have been updated to better match those given in the paper, which is a 2.3 Ah cell, instead of the mix-and-match with the 1.1 Ah cell from Lain2019.

+Optional Dependencies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+PyBaMM has a number of optional dependencies for different functionalities.
+If the optional dependency is not installed, PyBaMM will raise an ImportError when the method requiring that dependency is called.
+
+If using pip, optional PyBaMM dependencies can be installed or managed in a file (e.g. requirements.txt or setup.py)
+as optional extras (e.g.,``pybamm[dev,plot]``). All optional dependencies can be installed with ``pybamm[all]``,
+and specific sets of dependencies are listed in the sections below.
