This is a huge step forward, and this is something we’ll be introducing into all of our plugin using solutions. You can now query plugin version and install state from within FileMaker, and load plugins directly from container fields.

In versions 11 and prior, there is a process to update plugins from FileMaker Server, but no process when not using a hosted file. One of the long standing developer gripes with FileMaker Pro and plugins is that they’ve been hard to update or install.
