The Atlassian IDE Plugin provides both an auto-upgrade option and a manual upgrade option. Both options are described below.

Allowing the Auto-Upgrade

The Atlassian IDE Plugin will inform you when a later version is available. Just click the flashing icon on your IDEA status bar.

When you click the icon, a dialog box will pop up allowing you to install the new version and restart IDEA. You can also choose to reject the upgrade.

If you choose to reject the upgrade, you will not be notified again about the availability of this particular new version. You will be notified about the next version we release.

If you later change your mind and decide to upgrade after all, you can always trigger the upgrade manually, as described below.

Triggering the Upgrade Manually

You can start the upgrade manually at any time, from the plugin's control panel. Click 'Preferences'... 'IDE Settings'... 'Atlassian'... 'General'... 'Auto update'... 'Check now'.

This option is also described in the upgrade information box, as shown in the screenshot below.
