Overview #
This screen is used to manage plugins or plugin components used elsewhere in the platform. Each plugin item has a type, language, and revision lifecycle. This screen supports maintaining draft code, reviewing published code, and tracking revision history.
Plugins Panel #
The plugin Panel on the left allows you to select existing records so that you can view and edit their details on the panel to the right.
Actions #
| Icon | Description |
|---|---|
 | Adds a new plugin |
 | Publishes this plugin |
 | Compares two saved versions of the plugin |
 | Deletes the selected record when deletion is allowed |
Edit plugin Code Panel #
The information in this section reflects the currently selected record. From here you can review the current configuration and make changes where permitted.
Type drives what kind of plugin is being configured. Language is derived from the selected type and is informational rather than freely editable. These fields define the identity and purpose of the plugin item before revision content is maintained in the tabs below.
Fields #
- Name: a descriptive name for the selected record.
- Description: provides additional context for administrators.
- Type: drives what kind of plugin is being configured.
- Language: is derived from the selected type and is informational rather than freely editable.
Draft Tab #
The Draft tab is used to create or edit the working version of the plugin.
- Draft code editor.
- Revision number.
- Revision description.
- Created date.
- Last modified date.
- Last modified by user.
A draft is the editable working version. Draft metadata helps track the current revision before publishing. Draft changes must be saved before publish actions become valid.
Publish Tab #
The Publish tab shows the currently published version of the plugin.
- Published code snippet.
- Description.
- Revision number.
- Published date.
- Published by user.
This tab allows users to review what is currently active rather than edit it directly.
History Tab #
The History tab lists all revisions for the selected plugin item.
- Revision.
- Created.
- Last modified.
- Modified by user.
- Status badge.
The history tab is intended for auditability and revision tracking.
References Tab #
This tab helps administrators understand downstream impact before changing or deleting a record. If the selected record is referenced by other configuration, deletion may be restricted.
Revision And Publish Workflow #
Publish behavior depends on having a valid, saved draft. Draft and published revisions can coexist as separate states.
