# ExtendScript

Each standalone release script is available at <https://cdn.sheetjs.com/>.

`xlsx.extendscript.js` is an ExtendScript build for Photoshop and InDesign.

<div><a href={`https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-${current}/package/dist/xlsx.extendscript.js`}>https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-{current}/package/dist/xlsx.extendscript.js</a> is the URL for {current}</div><br/>

After downloading the script, it can be directly referenced with `#include`:

```c
#include "xlsx.extendscript.js"
```

For local deployments, the scripts can be placed in the `Scripts` folder. The
path is application-specific.

| App       | Location                                                         |
|:----------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Photoshop | `\Presets\Scripts` within the Application folder                 |
| InDesign  | Windows > Utilities > Scripts, click `☰` > "Reveal in Explorer" |

:::note CEP usage

The ExtendScript build should be used when performing spreadsheet operations
from the host context (within a `jsx` script file).

[The standalone scripts](/docs/getting-started/installation/standalone) should
be added to CEP extension HTML.
