A step may be considered Required, Optional, or Not Permitted, in accordance with the configuration. A Required step will execute both the core Registry functionality, as well as any Plugins. An Optional step will only execute Plugins, the core functionality will be skipped. Not Permitted means neither core nor Plugin functionality will be executed.
...
Plugins are executed after the core step has completed, or if the step is considered Optional. When a Plugin is executed, handoff is via a URL. More details about this are in the Plugin Documentation. Because Plugins must be run one at a time, Plugins are executed alphabetically to ensure a predictable order. However, this order is subject to change in a future release. Once all Plugins have been run, the next step will be initiated.
