To set up the integration/extension

Before you install the integration/extension

Here are a few things you should know:

  • You may need administrative rights on the computer you’re using. If you aren’t an admin of your computer, work with your IT team to install the extension.
  • If your company manages Adobe installations through your IT team, ask your IT team to add the plugin to the Adobe tools distribution package.
  1. Install the plugin. 
  2. Enable the installed plugin from the Adobe app.

Tips for Smartsheet integrations for Adobe Creative Cloud

  • Comments and annotations for your proof won’t appear in the Smartsheet pane of your Adobe application. 
  • If you have access to a large number of sheets or have complex folder structures in Smartsheet, the sheet selector may be slow. 
  • You can't remove an image from a proof or delete a proof from the Smartsheet pane in your Adobe application. However, you can delete versions of a proof.
  • You must upload pages and artboards to a proof one at a time.
