Universal Plugin Manager 2.0 : Upgrading your Existing Plugins

Plugins are often developed separately from your application. You may wish to upgrade your plugins to more recent versions to allow them to work with your application version or simply to take advantage of new features in a plugin version. The Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) provides you with a list of plugins that have available upgrades and allows you to upgrade each plugin individually or in bulk.

Upgrading a plugin

To upgrade a plugin, navigate to the Plugins page and do the following:

  1. Click the Upgradetab. The plugin upgrades page will appear.
    • If there is a later version of a plugin that you have already installed, this page will show the latest compatible version of the plugin.
    • You can click the plugin name to expand the row and see more information about the plugin.
    • You can filter your list by entering keywords in the Filter plugins text box.
  2. Click the Upgrade Now button next to the relevant plugin to update it to the plugin version shown.

Upgrading all plugins

To upgrade all available plugins, navigate to the Plugins page and do the following:

  1. Click the Upgrade tab.
    The system displays the plugin upgrades page will appear.
    • If there is a later version of a plugin that you have already installed, this page will show the latest compatible version of the plugin.
    • You can click the plugin name to expand the row and see more information about the plugin.
    • You can filter your list by entering keywords in the Filter plugins text box.
  2. Click the Upgrade All button to update every plugin to the plugin versions shown.

    Not all plugins can be installed or upgraded via the Universal Plugin Manager. These plugins you must manually install and upgraded.
