How does JMP's Add‑In "Check for updates when JMP starts" actually work?

I’m trying to understand how JMP handles add‑in updates. When installing an add‑in, there’s an option called "Check for updates when JMP starts." I assumed this meant JMP would detect a newer version of the same .jmpaddin file if I rebuilt it with a higher version number.

However, JMP never prompts for an update, even when the version in addin.def is incremented.

How is this feature supposed to work?

  • Does JMP monitor a specific install folder?
  • Does it remember the folder the add‑in was originally installed from?
  • Is there a required setup for auto‑update detection?

I would appreciate clarification on the intended workflow

I think Justin did explain this at some point of this presentation Scripters Club Recordings: Managing Your JMP Add-Ins (possibly Video 2)
