The censhare XMLCommand plugin handles communication between the censhare Client or censhare Render Client and Adobe InDesign, InCopy, and InDesign Server. Find compatibility information for the XMLCommand plug-in, censhare, and Adobe CC. |
The following compatibility tables show the supported XMLCommand plugin versions for particular Adobe InDesign and censhare versions. If you do not have any production problems, there is no requirement to change your XMLCommand plugin to a later version than you use. If you need more information about which plug-in to use, please contact the censhare support.
FAQsFind answers on Adobe CC plug-ins and censhare Clients in the FAQ. |
DownloadTo download the plug-in, go to the ecosphere tracker support system. Or log in to the censhare Client and select Stored searches | _Downloads | censhare-downloads | PlugIns.Plugin for use on macOS Catalina: Download the censhare plugin (zip file) directly from the censhare Client Download folder. Otherwise, the plugin might not be installed correctly. |
InstallationTo install the Adobe CC plug-in, see Adobe CC Installation. You also find detailed installation information in the _Downloads |censhare-downloads | PlugIns folder. |
Currently, censhare does not support Adobe InDesign documents that include endnotes. The Adobe Endnote feature (introduced in InDesign CC 2018) includes significant technical changes. By default, you cannot upload or check-in InDesign and InCopy documents that have endnotes in censhare. It is also not possible to place snippets that include endnotes in the Editor for InDesign Documents.
We strongly recommend that you use the same plugin version on all your workstations and InDesign server. Using different plugins and clients on the same files can cause unexpected results.
Plugin versions for macOS and Windows are in synch again as of plugin 2.9.3. |

Note: Starting with the CC 2015 applications, 64-bit Windows and macOS versions are available. Starting with CS 6, Windows users must install the correct 64-bit plug-in for InDesign Server. Rendering in 32-bit Windows is no longer possible for CS 6 and CC versions. Make sure that you install all available Adobe updates. The latest censhare plug-in expects the appropriate Adobe updates.
