market trends quickly, launch

00:01:14:00 - 00:01:17:25
one step ahead of your competitors.

00:01:19:04 - 00:01:21:29
So the first thing we need to do
to get on board with

00:01:21:29 - 00:01:25:01
the Invent plugin
is to actually get it downloaded.

00:01:26:01 - 00:01:29:01
Now the first thing we need to do to get
this is to navigate

00:01:29:01 - 00:01:33:14
to our Help Desk
article associated with Invent

00:01:34:03 - 00:01:37:13
that we can put in a few details
and then download

00:01:37:13 - 00:01:39:22
the plugin.

00:01:40:26 - 00:01:42:10
We have an article available

00:01:42:10 - 00:01:45:12
which is all about downloading,
installing and enabling

00:01:45:12 - 00:01:47:22
Invent.

00:01:51:13 - 00:01:52:12
Scroll down a little bit.

00:01:52:12 - 00:01:54:27
You'll need to enter
a few bits of information in there

00:01:54:27 - 00:01:57:15
before you can actually
go ahead with the download

00:02:03:17 - 00:02:04:18
Hit Submit

00:02:04:18 - 00:02:10:01
and then you'll get instant access
to download the plugin.

00:02:11:06 - 00:02:14:00
So we also need to download the Adobe
Creative

00:02:14:00 - 00:02:17:14
Cloud Extension
Manager application from Anastasiy.

00:02:18:21 - 00:02:21:11
So there is a link
within this article here

00:02:21:11 - 00:02:24:02
which shows you where to get that,
so we can just click on

00:02:25:20 - 00:02:26:24
that link.

00:02:26:24 - 00:02:28:26
And then as you can see,
this is a free download.

00:02:29:16 - 00:02:37:18
So we'll just go ahead,
get that as well for our operating system.

00:02:37:18 - 00:02:39:05
So I'm going to run the Anastasiy

00:02:39:05 - 00:02:42:06
extension manager,
first of all, and get that installed.

00:02:43:10 - 00:02:54:29
The straightforward installation process,
I'm going to say launch the Anastasiy

00:02:54:29 - 00:02:57:22
The straightforward installation process,
I'm going to say launch the Anastasiy

00:02:57:22 - 00:03:01:05
extension manager,

00:03:01:05 - 00:03:03:18
which just gives us this little pop up
window here.

00:03:05:14 - 00:03:08:11
We then can install add ons and plug

00:03:08:11 - 00:03:10:29
in specifically
for our different Adobe packages.

00:03:11:13 - 00:03:16:24
So we're going for InDesign,
which is what our Invent is designed for.

00:03:18:01 - 00:03:20:10
We go to install

00:03:20:29 - 00:03:23:08
and then just navigate

00:03:23:08 - 00:03:41:27
to in, then plug it.

00:03:41:27 - 00:03:44:11
You get a message saying
that the installation was successful.

00:03:44:19 - 00:03:47:22
However, before you're going to be able
to use this correctly, you will need

00:03:47:22 - 00:03:51:18
to restart InDesign.

00:03:53:24 - 00:03:55:08
So with the plugin installed

00:03:55:08 - 00:03:57:29
and we can verify that
that is available Anastasiy.

00:03:58:28 - 00:04:01:05
If we then go to InDesign

00:04:01:05 - 00:04:03:12
and we'll navigate to window

00:04:04:21 - 00:04:07:15
extensions and then Infigo Invent

00:04:13:12 - 00:04:16:13
the plugin will load in a separate window
that can be docked

00:04:16:22 - 00:04:18:23
to any of the windows
that you have on your screen.

00:04:18:23 - 00:04:19:05
to any of the windows
that you have on your screen.

00:04:21:00 - 00:04:21:16
And that's it.

00:04:21:16 - 00:04:25:16
The plugin is now available for use
and you're ready to tackle the next

00:04:25:17 - 00:04:28:01
tutorial in this series.
