With the latest update, Icondrop now supports the new Plugins Panel in Adobe XD. The Plugins Panel in Adobe XD is a new surface in the interface, similar to the Layers and Assets panels.

The Plugins Panel lets XD users quickly access and launch installed plugins and interact with a plugin’s functionality directly within the panel interface. Now you can take full advantage of the plugin without breaking your creative workflow and use the plugin right alongside the XD canvas.

Download Icondrop

Download the free Icondrop plugin from the XD plugin manager. After launching XD, click Add-ons, then Plugins to open the plugin manager. Search for Icondrop and install it.

With our new update, we have put the power of the Icondrop plugin at your fingertips. Here are a few features.

Quick access to Icondrop plugin

One frequent piece of feedback we heard from our users was, they had to open the plugin every time they wanted to insert an asset. But now that hassle is over. With our panels update, you will always have the plugin available whenever you need it, right alongside the XD canvas.
