Plugin parameters

Developers can create plugins with parameters which allow plugins to accept user input from the quick actions menu. Adding parameters to your plugin means you don't need to build a custom UI. It also provides a streamlined experience for users of the plugin, who can run a plugin directly from the quick actions menu. Learn more about quick actions →

Example:

This plugin creates a shape on the canvas. It has no UI and can only be run via the quick actions menu (Mac) ⌘+/ (Windows) Ctrl+/. A user can select a shape type for the Shape parameter, then input number values for the Width and Height parameters to define the shape's dimensions.
