Universal Plugin Manager
The Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) is the main tool you will use to find, install, and manage apps for your Jira instance. The UPM is integrated with the Atlassian Marketplace by default, so if your Jira instance has an outbound internet connection, you will be able to search and install apps directly from the UPM.
There are two main interfaces for the UPM:
- Find apps – This interface allows you to search for third-party apps from Atlassian Marketplace directly and install them in your Jira.
- Manage apps – This interface allows you to manage the apps that are installed in your Jira. You can manage, disable, update, and uninstall the apps.
We will look at each of the interfaces and how you can use them to install, update, and manage third-party apps in Jira.
