Context: I’m trying to add menu items for my uxp plugin panel base on documentation the code should be something like this:

```auto
entrypoints.setup({
  plugin: {
    create(plugin: any) {
      console.log('Plugin created successfully', plugin)
    },
    panels: {
      svelte: app,
      menuItems: [
        { id: "buggy", label: "This one is buggy...", checked: false, enabled: true },
        { id: "reloadPanelFlyout", label: "Reload Panel", checked: false, enabled: true },
        { id: "showDialog", label: "Show Dialog", checked: false, enabled: true }
      ],
    },
  },
});

```

but somehow menu items are still not visible on my plugin panel. Can somebody help me?

thanks

@argie_olendan: I’m under the impression that you can add menu items to the main Adobe InDesign menu, but NOT to a UXP panel.  
This is the opposite behavior from UXP for Adobe Photoshop where you can add menus to the panel but not the main application’s menu.
