85 </Step>
82**1. Open the item's page**
8683
87 <Step title="Go to Version history">
88 Go to **Version history**. The version members get now is marked **Current**.

94**4. Revert to the version**
95
96Open the menu of the version you want, select **Revert to this version**, and confirm.
97
10098Members then get that version, and **Current** moves to it. Reverting deletes nothing, so every version stays in the list. To go forward again, open a newer version's menu and select **Make this the current version**.
10199
102100Reverting isn't available for an item synced from a repository. Fix the plugin in the repository and push to the default branch. Then select **Re-sync** on the marketplace in the [**Marketplaces**](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/skills?tab=marketplaces) tab, as [Update through organization settings](/docs/plugins/org-rollout#update-through-organization-settings) describes.

112110A plugin's availability decides whether members can see the plugin, install it if they want it, get it installed automatically, or must keep it on. In the plugin's row menu, this setting is labeled **Default access**. To set it:
113111
114<Steps>
115 <Step title="Open the Inventory tab">

127
132128The product shows the availability setting under other labels too: **Distribution** on the item's page, **Audience** in the table, and **Group access…** for a user group.
133129
134130Each availability value decides what members see and whether they can remove the plugin:

151147Adding a plugin or skill of your own puts it on the **Inventory** tab, private to your organization, where you then [set its availability](#set-availability) for members. To add one:

153<Steps>
154 <Step title="Open Plugins & skills">

149**1. Open Plugins & skills**
157150
158 <Step title="Select Add and choose the source">
159 Select **Add**, then choose where the plugin or skill comes from. The menu groups these items under **Skills** and **Plugins**:
151Go to [**Organization settings > Plugins & skills**](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/skills?tab=inventory).

161 * **Upload a skill** or **Create a skill**: one skill for your organization
162 * **Upload a plugin**: a plugin zip

162
169163A marketplace you add appears on the **Marketplaces** tab, and its plugins appear on the **Inventory** tab. Adding plugins here doesn't publish them anywhere.

185179You can remove a catalog source, such as Anthropic's directory or a partner catalog, so that members no longer see plugins from it:

217209You can turn plugins and skills off for your whole organization. This also stops Claude Code from loading the plugins it syncs from members' claude.ai accounts.

219<Steps>
220 <Step title="Open the Policy tab">

218
229219Members then see **Skills must be enabled in order to use plugins.** on **Customize > Plugins**, and they can't add or use plugins there. The organization's own skills are off as well.
230220
231221To stop the sync into Claude Code and leave plugins on in claude.ai and Cowork, set `syncClaudeAiPlugins` to `false` in Claude Code managed settings instead. [Control which synced plugins load](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/loading#control-which-synced-plugins-load) in the Claude Code docs covers that setting.
