Macro Devkit

Create your own plugins

Every project has a life of its’ own and we want to make sure that you can further tailor your narrative design tool to the specific needs of your project.

Get the Macro Devkit NuGet Package and write your own plugin for the articy:draft client. With a rich set of methods you can query, manipulate or process objects, add context based commands to context menus or protect content from being deleted. You can also write imports and exports to your custom format.
