What is the difference between SketchUp and SketchUp plug-in?

Hello guys,

I would kindly ask for some help.

What is the difference between SketchUp and SketchUp plug-in? I mean, I really don’t understand these 2 sentences:

If you make changes and save them in the OpenStudio application, be sure to RELOAD the model in the SketchUp Plug-in before you make any changes in SketchUp.

How do I reload it? Does it mean that if I make some changes in OpenStudio I should save for example as test123.osm and same with sketchup plug-in test123.skp?

You should also RELOAD the model in the OpenStudio application if you have made additional changes in SketchUp.

How do I reload it here?

Thanks in advance, AZ
