Updating plugins
Plugins can be updated on CloudBees CI, CloudBees Jenkins Distribution, CloudBees Jenkins Platform, and CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise 1.x.
If using CloudBees CI masters, these actions can be performed both from Operations Center and from the command line.
| If you are testing functionality known to require plugin versions newer than those currently identified as verified or trusted, you can disable the Beekeeper Upgrade Utility for the duration of your tests. |
