+## Keep Up To Date
+
+IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin (2.x) and [Gradle](https://gradle.org/install/) build system are constantly developed, and every new release
+brings important bug fixes, new features, and improvements that make the development more efficient.
+
+It is strongly recommended to keep updating both Gradle and IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin to the latest versions.
+Newer IDE releases might not be supported fully in older releases of the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin.
+
+> The current IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin (2.x) version is **%intellij-platform-gradle-plugin-version%**
+>
+{style="note"}
+
+## Setup
+
+See [](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin.md#configuration) for the necessary declaration of repositories.
+
+## Target Platform and Dependencies
+
+<include from="configuring_plugin_project.md" element-id="whichPlatformVersion"/>
+
+If a matching version of the specified IntelliJ Platform is not present on the local machine, the Gradle plugin will download it.
+IntelliJ IDEA then indexes the build and any associated source code and [JetBrains Java Runtime](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin_jetbrains_runtime.md).
+
+To build a plugin for more than one target platform version, see [](build_number_ranges.md#multipleIDEVersions) for important notes.
+
+### IntelliJ Platform Configuration
+
+The target IDE platform is set in the `dependencies {}` block,
+see [](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin.md#setting-up-intellij-platform) for a minimal sample.
+
+[](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin_dependencies_extension.md#target-platforms) lists all available extension functions for known target IDE platforms.
+
+### Plugin Dependencies
+
+IntelliJ Platform plugin projects may depend on either bundled or third-party plugins defined in the `dependencies {}` block,
+see [](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin_dependencies_extension.md#plugins) for details.
+
+The runtime dependency must be added in the [Plugin Configuration](plugin_configuration_file.md) (<path>plugin.xml</path>) file as described in
+[Plugin Dependencies](plugin_dependencies.md#dependency-declaration-in-pluginxml).
+
+## Run IDE Task
+
+By default, the [`runIde`](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin_tasks.md#runIde) task will use the same version of the IntelliJ Platform
+for the IDE Development instance as was used for building the plugin.
+
+## Verifying Plugin
+
+The following tasks allow running integrity and compatibility tests:
+
+- [`verifyPlugin`](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin_tasks.md#verifyPlugin) - runs the [](verifying_plugin_compatibility.md#plugin-verifier) tool to check the binary compatibility with the specified IDE builds
+- [`verifyPluginStructure`](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin_tasks.md#verifyPluginStructure) — validates completeness and contents of [plugin.xml descriptors](plugin_configuration_file.md) as well as the plugin's archive structure
+- [`verifyPluginProjectConfiguration`](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin_tasks.md#verifyPluginProjectConfiguration) — validates the plugin project configuration
+
+## Publishing Plugin
+
+Review the [](publishing_plugin.md) page before using the [`publishPlugin`](tools_intellij_platform_gradle_plugin_tasks.md#publishPlugin) task.
