📄️ Plugin Synchronization
This topic explains the new plugin management system introduced in Digital.ai Release 10.2.0. Once you upgrade your Digital.ai Release to 10.2.0 or higher version there is no more manually copying of plugin files. Everything is handled by Digital.ai Release GUI and internal API. Plugins are now being stored in the database as a central location to remove the manual manipulation of files across the cluster.
