Plugins

Adobe XD features plugins and app-integrations from Adobe and third-party developers that enhance your design workflow by automating complex and repeat tasks, and enabling deep integrations with external tools and services. For example, if you want to use Google Maps, you can install by using a third-party plugin to get the app into your XD workspace. Check out this Adobe Community post to know more about using Google Maps in XD projects.

XD also supports external integrations such as Jira and in-app extensions to provide a complete solution for designers and stakeholders. 

To see a list of plugins available for XD, visit the Adobe XD resources page.

System requirements to get started with plugins

You need XD version 13.0 to view, manage, and build plugins. Plugin development and management are supported on both Windows and MacOS platforms.

Browse You can browse and filter plugins by Category, Most Recent, Top Rated, and Most Popular. You can rate a plugin only when you install one. 

Manage You can view the list of all plugins that are installed in your system. Sort the plugins based on Name or Last Updated options. Click the ellipsis (...) on a plugin to disable or uninstall.

Troubleshooting plugin-related issues

To resolve troubleshooting issues, use the Get Support option within plugins to reach out to the plugin developer.

To verify if the troubleshooting issues are exclusively related to plugins:

  • Use the Disable option in the Plugin panel to manually disable each installed plugin, or
  •  Hold down the Shift key when launching XD to temporarily disable all plugins.
