  3. Add the add-on.

Where to find the LOCAL ZIP​

  • First, package the add‑on: run make pack in the repository root.
  • After packaging, find the “LOCAL” zip in the repository root (e.g., 2025-..-reply-with-attachments-plugin-LOCAL.zip).
  • Before re‑packaging for testing, bump versions in both sources/manifest_ATN.json and sources/manifest_LOCAL.json.

Disable, Uninstall, and Updates​

  • Disable: Thunderbird → Tools → Add‑ons and Themes → find the add‑on → toggle off.
  • Uninstall: same view → three‑dot menu → Remove.
  • Updates: ATN installs auto‑update when new versions are approved. LOCAL/dev installs do not auto‑update; reinstall a new LOCAL build manually.
  • Remove settings completely: see Privacy → Data removal.
