Plugins are often developed separately from Confluence. You may wish to upgrade your plugins to more recent versions to allow them to work with your Confluence version or simply to take advantage of new features in a plugin version. The Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) provides you with a list of plugins that have available upgrades and allows you to upgrade each plugin individually or in bulk.
