@@ -337,6 +337,18 @@ There are a number of ways to specify a plugin:
| commit-ish | Commit/tag/branch reference. If none is specified,
'master' is used
| subdir | Sub-directory to find plugin.xml for the specified plugin.
+### Algorithm for choosing which plugin version to fetch from npm
+
+When adding a plugin to a project from npm, the CLI will choose which
version
+of the plugin to fetch based on the following criteria (listed in order of
+precedence):
+
+1. The plugin version specified in the command (e.g. `cordova plugin add
plugin@version`)
+2. The plugin version saved in config.xml (i.e. if the plugin was
previously added with `--save`)
+3. The latest plugin version that the current project can support (only
applies to plugins that list their [Cordova dependencies] in their
`package.json`)
+4. The plugin version pinned by your installed CLI version (only applies
to [Apache-developed plugins])
