| DisableUpdater | Disables the updater. |
| Dispose | Releases all resources used by the UpdaterRegistry |
| EnableUpdater | Enables the updater. |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetIsUpdaterOptional | Check if the updater is optional or not. |
| GetRegisteredUpdaterInfos | Returns UpdaterInfos for all the application-wide updaters. |
| GetRegisteredUpdaterInfos(Document) | Returns information about all updaters applicable to the given document. |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
| IsUpdaterEnabled | Checks if the updater is enabled or not. |
| IsUpdaterRegistered(UpdaterId) | Checks whether updater with the given id is registered |
| IsUpdaterRegistered(UpdaterId, Document) | Checks whether updater with the given id is registered in a document. |
| RegisterUpdater(IUpdater) | Registers an updater application-wide, which means the updater may get triggered in any open document. |
| RegisterUpdater(IUpdater, Document) | Registers the updater for a specified document, which means the updater can only be triggered by changes made in that document. |
| RegisterUpdater(IUpdater, Boolean) | Registers an updater application-wide, which means the updater may get triggered in any open document. |
| RegisterUpdater(IUpdater, Document, Boolean) | Registers the updater for a specified document, which means the updater can only be triggered by changes made in that document. |

| SetIsUpdaterOptional | Sets a flag indicating whether an updater is optional or not. |

RemarksThe registry is an application-wide singleton. It maintains all dynamic updaters currently registered, and also invokes them per their respective trigger condition during subsequent transactions.
Please note that only the application (an add-in, typically) which registered an updater is allowed to modify it later, including unregistering it. Also, an application is not allowed to register an updater with an Id, that is based on another application's Id.
