~~Title: Script Editor~~
<pageheader/>

The Script Editor provides an integrated editing environment for [[script_add-ins|script add-ins]]. Using the script editor you can:

  * Create new scripts, [[.script_add-ins:modules|script modules]] and [[.script_add-ins:include_files|include files]].
  * Edit scripts in multiple tabs using a syntax highlighting text editor (an external editor can also be configured if desired).
  * Design [[script_dialogs|dialogs]] and edit [[.resources:string_resources|string resources]].
  * Add icons, images and other supporting asset files.
  * Easily add template functions (.js and .vbs) for the various [[:reference:scripting_reference:scripting_events|script events]].
  * Save and use your own text snippets (e.g. for boilerplate code you frequently have to type).

The script editor can read and write [[.script_add-ins:script_package|script packages]] directly. It also supports single, non-packaged, script files.

To open a script in the script editor, use the **Edit** function from the [[script_management|Script Management]] dialog.
