Extend default packaging functionality

Trados Studio Integration API provides support for third-party developers to extend the default project packaging operations by injecting additional pages and jobs in the project packaging wizards. It also allows direct integration with other systems package formats.

• Create a specific action in the ribbon. (See Creating Actions)

• Trigger the OpenProjectPackageEvent via the IStudioEventAggregator and passing on the custom wizard pages (see StudioWizardPage) and the custom external job (see IExternalJobWithProgress)

See Customizing the Open Package Wizard Sample

Extending Create Return Package functionality

In order to extend the standard Create Return Package functionality, a third party developer will require the following steps:

• Create a specific action in the ribbon. (See Creating Actions)
