Migrate docs from AsciiDoc to Markdown. The preview can be built after #212557 is merged. @florent-leborgne please tag reviewers, add the appropriate label(s), and take this out of draft when you're ready. Note: More files are deleted than added here because the content from some files was moved to [elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content). **What has moved to [elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content)?** Public-facing narrative and conceptual docs have moved. Most can now be found under the following directories in the new docs: - explore-analyze: Discover, Dashboards, Visualizations, Reporting, Alerting, dev tools... - deploy-manage: Stack management (Spaces, user management, remote clusters...) - troubleshooting: .... troubleshooting pages **What is staying in the Kibana repo?** - Reference content (= anything that is or could be auto-generated): Settings, syntax references - Release notes - Developer guide --------- Co-authored-by: Florent Le Borgne <florent.leborgne@elastic.co>

# External plugin development [external-plugin-development]
|
|
|
|
::::{important}
|
|
The {{kib}} plugin interfaces are in a state of constant development. We cannot provide backwards compatibility for plugins due to the high rate of change. {{kib}} enforces that the installed plugins match the version of {{kib}} itself. Plugin developers will have to release a new version of their plugin for each new {{kib}} release as a result.

Most developers who contribute code directly to the {{kib}} repo are writing code inside plugins, so our [*Contributing*](/extend/contributing.md) docs are the best place to start. However, there are a few differences when developing plugins outside the {{kib}} repo. These differences are covered here.

* [Plugin tooling](/extend/plugin-tooling.md)
|
|
* [Functional Tests for Plugins outside the {{kib}} repo](/extend/external-plugin-functional-tests.md)
|
|
* [Localization for plugins outside the {{kib}} repo](/extend/external-plugin-localization.md)
|
|
* [Testing {{kib}} Plugins](/extend/testing-kibana-plugin.md)
