For desktop editors

To develop a plugin for ONLYOFFICE desktop editors, follow the instructions below.

1. Create a folder on your machine and put there the index.html and config.json files.

2. Pack all the plugin files within the plugin folder into a zip archive and change its extension to .plugin (all the plugin files and subfolders must be at the archive root).

3. Install a plugin through the Plugin Manager.

   The plugin will appear in the sdkjs-plugins directory. The path to the folder depends on the operating system you use:

   Windows

   C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ONLYOFFICE\DesktopEditors\data\sdkjs-plugins\

   macOS

   ~/Library/Application\ Support/asc.onlyoffice.ONLYOFFICE/data/sdkjs-plugins/

   Linux

   home/<username>/.local/share/onlyoffice/desktopeditors/sdkjs-plugins/

   A plugin GUID will be used as the folder name. For example, {07FD8DFA-DFE0-4089-AL24-0730933CC80A}.

   

   You can edit the plugin and reload it to see the changes.
