# Update a plugin

Start from the selected plugin and its current source. Preserve its identity,
data, hosting, and audience while making the requested change. A question about
the plugin or its history does not by itself call for an edit.

## Find the source that owns the change

| Plugin or change | Workflow |
| --- | --- |
| A Site's website, MCP tools, or Extensions | Edit the existing Site source and use [Sites MCP](../create-plugin/references/sites-mcp.md). Keep its project, App, and plugin IDs. |
| Skills in an eligible App-backed personal or workspace plugin, including a Site | Follow [account plugin updates](references/account-updates.md#skills-in-app-backed-plugins). Keep its existing plugin and App IDs and preserve App-owned configuration. |
| A local plugin | Edit the selected directory and follow [local plugins](../create-plugin/references/local-plugins.md) to reload it when requested. |
| A separately hosted MCP server or app | Change its server/UI repository and use its existing deployment process. Update the plugin package only if its files or connection configuration also change. |
