Installing the connector
Digizuite’s Adobe Creative Cloud Connector is available through Adobe’s plugin exchange here - https://exchange.adobe.com/creativecloud.details.107968.digizuite-connector.html.
Simply click on “Install” and the plugin will be installed through your Creative Cloud Connector application. A restart of your Adobe Applications is required before the plugin can be accessed.
Location of the connector in the interface
The Creative Cloud Connector is installed as an extension, and therefore can be opened in the same way as any other extension used in the products in the Adobe Creative Cloud products.
For example, in InDesign, it is found under Window → Extensions → Digizuite™.
In other instances, it is sometimes found under Window → Extensions (legacy) → Digizuite™
The connector will open inside a panel, and can be docked the same way as any other panel.
First start
The first time you activate the Creative Cloud Connector, you will be asked to enter the URL for Digizuite™ Media Manager.
You should already have been given this URL url by your Digizuite contact person. Simply input it, and press 'Continue' to move to reveal the login screen.
Please note that this is a one-time occurrence, and that next time you open the extension, it will have remembered your URLurl.
If you wish to change your Creative Cloud Connector's URLurl, you can do so from the context menu, under 'Settings'.

The connector offers two methods of logging in: with Digizuite user credentials or through single sign-on (SSO).
