Why does the Desktop App say to "Reinstall"?

Seeing a "Reinstall" button on your plugin in the Splice Desktop App? Learn why it appears, what it means, and when you actually need to click it.

"Reinstall" simply means your software is already up to date. It's not an instruction, a warning, or a sign your plugin is broken.

Splice Desktop App Reinstall Button

The three button states:

  • Install — you haven't installed this plugin yet

  • Update — a newer version of the plugin is available

  • Reinstall — you're already on the latest version; nothing new to download

Once your plugin is fully up to date, the button will permanently say "Reinstall" until a future update drops.
