On Adobe Creative Cloud's Add-On page, click Dreamweaver on the left to see Dreamweaver's specific add-ons. You can also use the search box on the right to search for a specific add-on.
Important note: Before installing the add-on, make sure that you have the file synchronization feature enabled for your Adobe Creative Cloud account. See Enable file synchronization on Adobe Creative Cloud below for more details.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the add-on.
To see the add-ons you've installed or shared, click All Your Purchases And Shared Items in the My Add-Ons section .

1. Open the Adobe Creative Cloud application.
2. Click the gear icon, then select Preferences.
3. In the Files tab , set Sync On / Off to On.
Use the additional utilities available in new versions of Dreamweaver
In most cases, a new add-on is built to work with a specific Dreamweaver version, mostly the latest version. This utility can be used with later versions of Dreamweaver, if it is built or configured for use on these Dreamweaver versions. When you install the new Dreamweaver version and uninstall the old version, additional utilities are also uninstalled.
In such cases, the Adobe Creative Cloud application on the desktop automatically installs the additional utilities you have purchased (from the Add-ons page ) after installing the new Dreamweaver version. After the add-ons are installed, Creative Cloud desktop will display a message indicating that the installation was successful. The only thing you have to ensure is that the option to synchronize files in the Creative Cloud for desktop application is enabled and allows the installation of additional add-ons automatically.
Note : Only add-ons compatible with the new version of Dreamweaver are installed by Adobe Creative Cloud.
Install third-party extensions
Installing third-party extensions can be installed via ZXP files, using the Exman command-line tool. If you don't have a ZXP file, contact the vendor for that extension.
