 * I have a plugin on a few site that I have customised and want to manually update.
   I can exclude specific plugin fron updating when it is due but is it possible
   to generally exclude a plugin from update on any site?

 * But that is only when an update is available. Can I specify to exclude a plugin
   in advance of an update?

 * Hi [@patbell101](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patbell101/),
    If you go
   to the MainWP > Plugins > Manage page, and search for plugins on your child sites,
   you will be able to select wanted sites/plugins and use the “Ignore plugins” 
   action in the bulk actions menu.
