I just got a new laptop and did a clean install of Neo4j Desktop (Win 11). I'm having problems getting the apoc.load.xls call registered and running. My plugins directory shows:

I've also checked the neo4j.conf file to make sure the following entries were enabled:

dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=jwt.security._,apoc._,gds.\*  
dbms.security.procedures.allowlist=apoc.coll._,apoc.load._,gds.\*

Anything else I'm missing? I've previously had this running just fine on my prior laptop (and earlier versions of the Desktop).

Thanks.

@mbandor

```auto
dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=jwt.security.,apoc.,gds.*
dbms.security.procedures.allowlist=apoc.coll.,apoc.load.,gds.*

```

but the first line above simply has `apoc.` is that intended? and not `apoc.*` for example or `apoc.load*` or similar. I dont suspect `apoc.` matches anything.

the 2nd line.. similar to?

Hmm, it looks correct in the config file:

I'm not sure why the first time I copy/pasted the entry it stripped some data off.

Problem solved. I found the answer from the last time I asked. I need to load the extended APOC library as well (documentation still doesn't reference this dependency).
