+# How to update plugins to Trados Studio 2024
+
+The following are a list of changes and known issues to consider when updating your plugin to be compatible with Trados Studio 2024.
+
+## Plugin Framework
+The latest version of the plugin framework packages should be installed. You can add/update the plugin framework nuget packages in your project via the package manager user interface or console.
+### Package Manager UI
+* In **Solution Explorer**, right-click **References** and choose **Manage NuGet Packages**.
+* Select nuget.org as the **Package source**.
+* Search for `Sdl.Core.PluginFramework` from the **Browse** tab.
+* Select the package from the list and click **Install** or **Update**.
+  * `Sdl.Core.PluginFramework`, version _2.1.0_
+  * `Sdl.Core.PluginFramework.Build`, version _18.0.1_
+* Accept any license prompts to finnish the installation.
+
+<br/>
+
+## Plugin Manifest
+
+The manifest file **pluginpackage.manifest.xml** is located at the root of your project solution.  The values of the **RequiredProduct** should be updated to align with the latest release.
+
+### RequiredProduct
+
+- Min version should be set to: 18.0. 
+- Max version should be set to 18.9. It is recommended to also set this value, as it will provide the AppStore with sufficient information in correctly identifying plugins that are compatible with the version of Trados Studio that is launched.
+- Name should be set to: *TradosStudio*
+
+Example
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+<PluginPackage xmlns="http://www.sdl.com/Plugins/PluginPackage/1.0">
+  <PlugInName>My plugin name</PlugInName>
+  <Version>1.1.0.0</Version>
+  <Description>My plugin description</Description>
+  <Author>Trados AppStore Team</Author>
+  <RequiredProduct name="TradosStudio" minversion="18.0" maxversion="18.9" />
+</PluginPackage>
+```
