Customizing Zend Studio Using the Welcome Page

Zend Studio enables you to add or remove plugins from your product according to your preferences, allowing you to develop in a lighter and faster environment.

Installing Plugins

Instructions on how to complete a procedure

To add plugins in Zend Studio:

From the Menu-bar, select Help | Welcome to open the Zend Studio Welcome page.

From the plugin list on the right, select the plugin you wish to add by marking the adjacent check-box, and click Apply changes.

When prompted, click Restart Now.
Zend Studio restarts with the plugins you selected installed.

Important!

If you do not restart Zend Studio, the changes will not be applied.
