The Bluescape plugin for Adobe Creative Cloud allows you to send content for review from Adobe to Bluescape. This process enables Creators to remain within the Adobe application, while Reviewers examine and approve content from within the Bluescape environment.
After the Bluescape plugin is installed for Adobe Creative Cloud, you can begin using this software with Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop.
Prerequisite : Create content (a document or an image) and save this file to your local machine.
