== Technical details==
The {{man label|Plugin Manager Enhanced}} addon uses the plugin system to replace the [[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Plugin_Manager|original plugin manager]]. It installs itself as a "[[Addon_list_legend#Type|'''General Plugin lib''']]" early in the Gramps startup sequence. It patches itself into the Gramps Help Menu and into the Addons update routine so that any addon update, via its own button, or the addon management system.
In 5.2, use the {{man menu|Edit->[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Using_the_Addon_Manager|Addon Manager]]}} or click its toolbar icon.
In 5.1 and earlier, use {{man menu|Edit->Preferences}} General tab [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Third_party_addons_management|Third party addons management]] sections {{man button|Check for updates}} button, or automatic {{man label|Check for addon updates}} as configured in the same section.
