plugins or install new ones either from a repository or from the
local hard drive. There are 5 different tabs available to work with
the plugins. Each will be described briefly in the following.

updated are listed. On the right side you see the version of the
currently installed plugin and also the version of the one you can

of the internal modules. After selecting any of the plugins on the
left the update can be performed by clicking on the button on the

finalise the update and activate the new plugins. By clicking on
the Button at the top left, named "Check for Updates", you can
