Upload a plugin

You can upload a plugin to add support for publishing DITA content in a new format or for customizing an existing output format.

You can upload a zip file to install it into your organization's version of DITA-OT (Open Toolkit) on the Publish Server.

  • Now you can upload a file size of 100MB or less.
  • If you choose a file with a size larger than 100MB, you see an error message reading "File size too large."

You can't rename or update a plugin after you upload it. You must uninstall it and then upload it again.

To upload a plugin:

  1. On the dashboard, go to the left side panel.
  2. Click DITA-OT Plugin.
  3. In Domain Key, select your organization's domain. For example, mycompany.vasont.com.
  4. In Toolkit Version, select which DITA standard is used in your plug-in.
  5. To upload a plugin file, do one of the following
    • To browse for a file, click Select files...
    • To drag and drop, find the file on your desktop and drag it into the Drop files here to select.
  6. Click Upload.
    The zip file is installed into your organization's version of DITA-OT.

    If you need to make changes after you upload a plugin, you must:
