Updated over 3 months ago

You can access your Dash assets from within Adobe applications using our LinkrUI integration.

Before you get started, you need to download and configure the plugin, and this page guides you through this.

Once installed, you can follow our LinkrUI User Guide to get started.

Installing LinkrUI for Adobe

1. If you haven't got a LinkrUI licence yet

  1. As an admin, navigate to Admin > Integrations

  2. Locate either the "Adobe Creative Cloud" or "Microsoft Office" section, depending on the products you are looking to integrate with

  3. Click the "Start free trial" button

  4. Press enter in the chat that pops up to send us a message that you'd like to start a LinkrUI trial

  5. We'll provide you with the download links and your trial activation code, which you'll need to use LinkrUI.

If your organisation already has a LinkrUI licence

If your organisation already has an active LinkrUI licence, you just need to:

  1. Download the LinkrUI desktop application for Windows or for Mac

  2. Obtain the activation code from your Dash administrator

2. Install the plugin

Expand the appropriate section below based on your operating system:

MacOS

  1. Double-click the "LinkrUI.dmg" file that you downloaded

  2. Double-click the "Linkr" icon in the window that appears

  3. Follow the steps until the installation completes and you can click "Continue". You can leave all the installation settings as default.

For Apple Silicone Macs (e.g. with "M1", "M2" etc CPUs)

If your Mac is a newer model with an Apple Silicone chip, you'll need to run Photoshop in a legacy compatibility mode known as Rosetta.

To find out if your Mac has an Intel or Apple Silicone processor, refer to this Apple support article.

If you do have an Apple Silicone Mac, open Photoshop in Rosetta by following these steps:

  1. Open Finder > Applications and locate Photoshop

  2. Right-click the Photoshop app icon and click "Get info"

  3. Select the "Open using Rosetta" checkbox

Windows

  1. Locate the installation zip file that you downloaded from your browser

  2. Unpack the file and run the LinkrUI.exe installation file

  3. Follow the instructions until the installation is complete

3. Log in to the plugin

  1. Open up your Adobe application (we'll use Photoshop as an example)

  2. Open the LinkrUI panel by clicking "Window > Extensions (legacy) > LinkrUI"

  3. Enter your Dash URL, for example "planto.dash.app" and click "Authenticate"

  4. You'll be taken to a webpage where you should log in to your Dash in the way you normally do.

  5. If successful, you should see a "Authentication complete. You can now use LinkrUI." message. You can close the browser tab and return to Photoshop where the panel should now be showing your Dash assets.

Using the plugin

Please refer to our LinkrUI User Guide for how to use LinkrUI.

I've installed the plugin on my Mac but the extension isn't showing up in the Adobe menus

This may be because you have an Apple Silicone Mac and haven't enabled compatibility mode.

To confirm, click the Apple icon at the top-left of the menubar, then click "About this Mac". If under the image you see "M1" or similar, you have an Apple Silicone Mac and need to enable compatibility mode for the extension to run.
