+# Managed Scripts Plugin
+
 Managed scripts are shell scripts which are managed centrally by an administrator and can be referenced as a build step within jobs.
 
+## Requirements
+
+- Jenkins 2.319.3 or newer
+- [Config File Provider Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/config-file-provider/) (required dependency)
+
 ## Description
-The scripts are managed by the [Config File Provider Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/config-file-provider/), go to the "Manage Jenkins" screen and click on the "Managed files" item.

-Now you get to the screen to create your script. You're able to give it a name and a small description. In addition, you have the option to define a list of arguments you want to inform the users about. These arguments will be shown to the user as a hint and within the script you're able to reference these as if you would pass in arguments on the command line ($1, $2,...). Every environment variable from within a build will be visible to the script, too.

+## Windows Support
+
+The plugin also supports managed `.bat` scripts for Windows environments, allowing administrators to centrally manage batch scripts the same way as shell scripts.
+
+## Pipeline Integration
+
+Managed scripts can be used in Jenkins Pipeline jobs through the Config File Provider Plugin integration:
+```groovy
+node {
+    configFileProvider([configFile(fileId: 'my-script-id', variable: 'SCRIPT')]) {
+        sh '$SCRIPT'
+    }
+}
+```
