The {{man label|Plugin Manager Enhanced}} addon uses the the plugin system to replace the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Plugin_Manager|original plugin manager]]. It installs itself as a "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, the '{{man menu|Edit->Preferences}}' '{{man button|Check for updates}}' button, or automatic update checks as configured on the '{{man menu|Edit->Preferences}}'.
