Manage plugins in UDT

The UXP Developer Tool (UDT) keeps your development projects in one workspace. Create a project from a template or add an existing project from disk, then load it when its host application is running.

Create a plugin from a template

Select Create Plugin, choose a UDT template, and complete the project details. Build Your First Plugin walks through the complete setup.

  2. Choose the project's manifest.json file.
  3. Select Open to add the project to the workspace.

A plugin added to the UDT workspace

Adding a project does not load it into a host application. You can keep it in the workspace until you are ready to work with it.

Remove a plugin from the workspace

Select the checkbox beside one or more projects, then select Remove Selected in the upper-right corner.

Removing a plugin from the UDT workspace does not delete its files from disk. You can add the project again later by selecting its manifest.

Next step

After adding a project, load, watch, and debug the plugin.
