Developer IDs

A developer ID is a unique identifier that that is assigned to every toolbar and item.

These IDs can be used to uniquely style toolbars or items, or reference them from the API, without worrying if their names might change.

To get a Developer ID

For toolbars, go to Note Toolbar's main settings (in 1.27 or later), and use More options → Copy developer ID.

For toolbar items, go to each item's settings, and use More actions... → Copy developer ID.

Usage examples

// update this item's icon
const item = ntb.getItem('112c7ed3-d5c2-4750-b95d-75bc84e23513');
item.setIcon('alert');

// or fetch the HTML element (for non-floating-button toolbars)
const itemEl = activeDocument.getElementById('112c7ed3-d5c2-4750-b95d-75bc84e23513');
