Plugin updates

Last modified: 06 February 2025

note

Please verify your plugin update’s compatibility with IDEs by using the built-in Plugin Verifier as you upload them. To see all of the options for plugin verification, refer to the documentation.

How to upload an update

In most cases, updates are uploaded automatically using Gradle tasks as described in Publishing Plugins with Gradle.

To upload an update manually, click on the Upload Update button in the top left corner:

Upload Update button

Then select the prepared archive file:

Upload Update button

Additionally, you have the option to:

  • Specify a custom channel or keep the default (Stable) one.

  • Make this update hidden to prevent public release after approval.

Once the update is successfully uploaded, we will review it to make sure it meets the approval criteria. If you have not received a notification about the review status within 2 business days, please contact us at marketplace@jetbrains.com or JetBrains Marketplace category.

How to hide a plugin update

Apart from hiding an update during the upload, you can also hide an existing plugin version that had already been approved and publicly available for some time.

Hide Version button

Hidden updates are not available via JetBrains Marketplace or IDE search. Such updates can be reached via direct link only.

To make the update publicly available just select Unhide version or click on the eye icon again:

Unhide Version

How to remove a plugin update

Plugin versions can be easily removed by clicking on the trash can icon:

Remove Update button

If this icon is not available for this plugin version, it is related to paid or freemium plugins only (specifically, to the release-date parameters). Most likely, there are no other updates with the same release-date and release-version as in this update, so please consider hiding such version or contact us at marketplace@jetbrains.com with such a request.

How to edit an update after submission

There is no option to edit the update after submission except for the compatibility range:

Edit compatibility range

Use since-build and until-build values to declare the product compatibility of specific version range. Please refer to the following build number ranges to specify these values correctly.

warning

Keep in mind that compatibility with the specified version range (and compatible products) must always be verified using Plugin Verifier to ensure binary compatibility.
