Learn how to create, install, and manage plugins.
The InDesign plugin modules are software programs developed by Adobe and other software developers working with Adobe to add additional features. Many importing, exporting, automation, and special-effects plugins come with your program and are automatically installed in the Plugins folder. Most of the features you view in InDesign are provided by plugins.

Follow any installation instructions that come with the plugin.
You can use any commercial plugin designed for use with InDesign. Adobe Technical Support can help you isolate problems related to plugins. However, if it has been determined that the problem is directly related to a plug‑in created by another company, you'll need to contact that company for further support.
Plugins in InDesign are now powered with the Unified Extensibility Platform (UXP) so that you can use modern JavaScript (ES5 and most of the ES6 features). Find out more information about UXP Plugins.
