Getting Started Overview

This section provides everything you need to know to get started building add-ons for Adobe Express.

Introduction

At a high level, add-ons refer to any feature distributed independently from the core Adobe Express that a user can enable or install to extend the functionality. Adobe provides some built-in add-ons out of the box, but 3rd party developers also have the opportunity to create and distribute their own add-ons by following the steps provided in this documentation.

Getting Started Steps

The Quickstart steps you will follow to get started building your first add-on include:

1. Set up your local environment.
2. Create a new add-on project
3. Build and start your add-on.
4. Log in to Adobe Express.
5. Enable the developer mode (one time only).
6. Load and run your add-on directly in Adobe Express.
7. Continue developing your add-on, seeing your changes immediately appear in, allowing you to iterate quickly.
