 Plugin Configs are used to extract commonly used [Plugin](./plugin.md) configurations and can be bound directly to a [Route](./route.md).
 
-While configuring the same plugin, only one copy of the configuration is valid. The order of precedence is always `Consumer` > `Consumer Group` > `Route` > `Plugin Config` > `Service`.
+While configuring the same plugin, only one copy of the configuration is valid. Please read the [plugin execution order](../terminology/plugin.md#plugins-execution-order) and [plugin merging order](../terminology/plugin.md#plugins-merging-precedence).

-If [Route](../terminology/route.md), [Service](../terminology/service.md), [Plugin Config](../terminology/plugin-config.md) or Consumer are all bound to the same for plugins, only one plugin configuration will take effect. The priority of plugin configurations is: Consumer > Route > Plugin Config > Service. At the same time, there are 6 stages involved in the plugin execution process, namely `rewrite`, `access`, `before_proxy`, `header_filter`, `body_filter` and `log`.
