Installing editor extensions on Contenta Web clients

How to install the Contenta editor extensions on Contenta Web clients.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that latest compatible version of Contenta (including Service Packs) is installed and functioning properly before beginning the installation. For more information, see the Contenta installation documentation.
  • We recommend you install your editor (for example, Arbortext Editor or FrameMaker) software on the client before you begin the Contenta S1000D installation. Consult the platform requirements for supported versions of editor software. If you install Arbortext Editor or Oxygen XML Author after installing Contenta S1000D, or if the Contenta S1000D installation program failed to configure these editors, post-installation configuration is required. See Configuring Arbortext Editor or Oxygen XML Author integration.
