Plugin Replacer allows administrators to upload a Moodle plugin ZIP file and either:
- Install it (if not currently installed), or
- Replace the existing installed version.
This plugin works in specific scenarios where you don't have enough control to keep updating or installing plugins, for example if the Moodle provider/partner don't allow on Production environments to install or update plugins.

Plugin Replacer allows administrators to upload a Moodle plugin ZIP file and either:
- Install it (if not currently installed), or
- Replace the existing installed version.
The plugin extracts the ZIP to a temporary directory, validates the plugin metadata (`version.php`), shows a file difference preview, and then copies the plugin into the correct Moodle directory. After replacement or installation, it redirects to Moodle's standard upgrade page to complete the process.
This tool is intended for controlled administrative environments where the default Moodle plugin installer is unavailable or restricted.
