Acquire and install apps from Adobe Exchange

You can now install partner-built apps for Workfront directly from Adobe Exchange. This capability connects customers to a growing ecosystem of Adobe partners who deliver purpose-built tools that improve productivity, streamline operations, and extend Workfront functionality. Through Adobe Exchange, customers can discover and install apps that integrate seamlessly into Workfront using UI Extensions.

Adobe Exchange is the central marketplace for third-party applications, extensions, and integrations across Adobe Experience Cloud—including Adobe Workfront. For Workfront customers, it’s the go-to destination to discover and install apps that enhance functionality, streamline workflows, and integrate with external systems.

Adobe partner apps

The Workfront Partner Network is a growing ecosystem of technology partners—independent software vendors (ISVs) who build scalable, secure, and extensible apps using Adobe App Builder and Workfront UI Extensions.

Workfront partners leverage Workfront UI Extensions, a powerful framework that allows apps to be embedded directly into the Workfront interface. Once installed from Adobe Exchange, Workfront administrators can add these apps to layout templates, making them visible and accessible to users within their daily workflows. This seamless integration ensures that users can interact with partner-built tools—such as dashboards, approval flows, or campaign trackers—without leaving the Workfront environment.
