XD 20 is now available, and it brings with it some changes and new features for plugins: - **"Launchpad" UI** – A new sidebar makes it easier for users to launch plugins. In the near future, this will also be a place where plugins can show their own custom panel UI (but not quite yet!). - **Menu structure changes** – XD now arranges plugin menu items more cleanly: - **Text scenenode super/subscript** – [textScript](https://adobexdplatform.com/plugin-docs/reference/scenegraph.html#Text-textScript) is added to the Text scenenode APIs and the Assets panel text style APIs. For further details on these API changes, see the [updated **changelog**](https://adobexdplatform.com/plugin-docs/changes.html#xd-release-20012-june-2019) or this [**complete diff** of all docs changes](https://github.com/AdobeXD/plugin-docs/commit/860fe6feb800c05de8c6ffe09345fea78ccaaab5). You can also read more about [XD 20’s new features for end users](https://theblog.adobe.com/xd-june-2019-update-property-inspector-superscript-subscript-more). As always, don’t forget to _update your plugin manifest’s `minVersion`_ if you are going to rely on any of the new API features. Happy coding! ---

And, if I understand correctly something Kerri said, a plugin with multiple panels will also get a single entry in the “launchpad” with the panel names available as a drop-down? ---

@peterflynn So if I understand correctly currently there is no way to see a **UI for the plugins** in xd 20. Only in the official 21 we’ll be able to see the panels? Correct? ---

Yeap that’s correct. in XD 20, you can only see the launch pad (panels won’t work). In XD 21, you will be able to see the actual panels.
