Restart the application and you will see a message box listing successfully installed plugins (picture). Installed plugins are ready to use. Some plugins add new menu items, some plugins may add new application pages etc. Some plugins are lottery-specific so their functionality is available only when playing a particular lottery (e.g. plugins for online winning numbers update). The list of installed plugins and their details is available from the Lottery -> Preferences menu (picture) on the Plugins page (picture).

When you find a new version of a plugin you have already installed you can download it and copy it again to the "plugins" folder to update the plugin. After restarting the application you will see a message confirming successful update.
