Using a widget to deploy a client plug-in
While Widgets and Live Text can be used to deploy a variety of Live Text and gadget-like capabilities to client users, they play a unique role in installing and updating (deploying and provisioning) feature plug-ins and policies to all managed clients in the Domino-administered enterprise, including Notes as well as IBM® Lotus® Expeditor clients.

Information about how to manage clients using this best practices method is provided in the topics beginning with Deploying client plug-ins with widgets and the widget catalog. Information about using the Getting Started with Widgets wizard to simplify the process of creating a feature and plug-in deployment widget is available in IBM Notes® 9.0 Social Edition Helpin the topic about creating a Features and Plugins deployment widget.
