Updating add-on manually using the add-on's jar file.

Instead of updating an app automatically (that is, by using the Update button), you can update it by manually loading the updated JAR file to the application. The update procedure is identical to the one for installing by file upload. When you perform this procedure for an existing app, the old app version is removed from the file system, and the new one is added.

To update an app by file upload: 

1. Log into your Jira as a user with administrative privileges. 
2. From the top navigation bar in your application, choose > Add-ons 
3. Manage apps >> Choose Upload add-on
4. Locate the QMetry for Jira- Test Management JAR file then click on Upload. 
5. Then add-on uploads and installs, and the latest version of the JAR replaces the outdated version. 

Note: You can download the QMetry for Jira- Test Management JAR file from Atlassian marketplace.
