Installing the Plugin for Photoshop version 22.0 and XD version 39

To get started organizing your work across platforms, you will need the Adobe Creative Cloud plugin.

 

For Illustrator, Premiere Pro, or earlier versions of Photoshop, please see the "Installing the Plugin for Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and earlier versions of Photoshop" section of this article.

You can also find the plugins by going to your Creative Cloud Marketplace and navigating to "All plugins" on the left pane. From there, search for monday.com and you'll see the plugin. 

Click "Install" to begin the installation. The first screen you'll see is a disclaimer. 

Click "OK" to continue. Depending on your computer's settings, you may be asked to enter your computer's password.

The monday.com plugin will now be accessible via the "Plugins" option on the overhead menu. For this example, we'll look at Photoshop. To open the plugin click on Plugins > monday.com > monday.com:

Once you have successfully connected your accounts, you can navigate to any board via the pop-up window in your Adobe app. To start seamlessly syncing your progress without moving between platforms, search for the board you would like to use. Then select the group and the item.

For this example, I'll use the following board with the circled item as my target:

 

I can use the search function to find the correct board and then select the correct group and item. Click "View Item" to open the selected item:

Limitations

Apps & Versions

The monday.com plugin here (described in the first part of this article) only works with:

• Photoshop version 22.0 through 22.1.1

The monday.com plugin here (also described in the first part of this article) only work with:

• XD version 39

A different version of the plugin here (described in the second part of this article) is available for the following versions:

• Illustrator version 17.0 through 25
• Premiere Pro version 12.0 through 14.8
• InDesign version 16.0
• and Photoshop version 19.0 through 22

This integration does not support other versions of these applications. We plan to add support for additional apps and versions in the future. If you suspect that a version may be supported and you don't see it listed here, you can also check the compatibility on the plugin download page.

 

Installing the Plugin

Adobe has multiple customer types. Individual, Team, and Enterprise. Some people in Team and Enterprise organizations will not be able to go to the Marketplace and install a plugin on their own. For many Team and Enterprise organizations, IT Admins will need to deploy a plugin to users in the organization.

Admins can search for the plugin directly in the Adobe Admin Console. This article from Adobe will provide further instructions on how to make the plugin available to your team.

 

Columns

The plugin for Photoshop version 22.0 and newer versions and the plugin for XD only supports select columns. Support for additional columns will be added in the future.

The plugin for all other applications (Illustrator and Premier Pro) and earlier versions of Photoshop supports the following columns in edit mode: People, Status, Date, and all columns that you can use without a dialog (i.e. Text, Rating, etc.)

Columns that are read-only will have a tooltip that indicates that the column is locked.
