# Update Dashboard plugin

Update of a Dashboard plugin is easy. It is however tricky to check dependencies to other plugin's versions, especially if versions are differing. 

Dashboard it self is updated centrally within the [SAAS architecture](/naviga-dashboard-overview/admin-guide/general-adminstration/upgrades/dashboard-saas.md), with a prior notice from us, but the optional plugins and apps are updated by you.

You need to be aware that there are version dependencies and plugin settings dependencies. They are all stated ( *this is not true today - but it  is the goal)* in the separate plugins docs that you find with each plugin.

General Checklist for attention at updates of plugins:

* Check compatibility with the Open Content version requirements of the plugin
  * Check if you need to do setting changes
* Are there any changes among the mandatory plugins?
  * Check if you need to do setting changes
* Are there any breaking changes in mandatory plugins?
  * Check if you need to do setting changes
* Check compatibility with your other plugin's version
  * Check if you need to do setting changes

You should always read the release notes very carefully, the dependencies information and required changes of settings is stated  ( *this is not true today - but it  is the goal)* in the plugins documentation of each plugin.

Your customized plugins or apps and integrations must also be carefully tested.
