You can connect the CI HUB Connector to your assets in Acquia DAM, as well as product information in the [Entries app](/acquia-dam/what-entries-what-can-it-be-used "What is Entries? What can it be used for?"). If you have CI HUB connected with DAM, you can access Entries content without any extra steps needed. 

  
Before using the CI HUB Connector, you’ll need to register with CI HUB, then download the connector for Adobe Creative Cloud, Office 365, Figma, or Sketch.

Go to [CI HUB’s website](https://ci-hub.com/ci-hub-user-registration/) and complete the user registration.

Select **CI HUB Connector** professional as your desired product.

![Create CI Hub ID](https://acquia.widen.net/content/7401240a-6a31-4737-8e5b-5effad80498d/web/ka0Pb000000DkwH00N6g00000WDN1a0EMPb00000JcwjB.png)

After registering, you’ll be sent an email with your CI HUB ID, which is your email address. Click **Activate Account** from the email, then create your CI HUB password.  
  
After that, connect CI HUB to Adobe, Office 365, Figma, Sketch or Photoshop:  

*   For Adobe, download the connector from [Adobe Exchange](https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/103590/ci-hub-connector).
*   For Photoshop using Apple silicon chips, download the connector from [Adobe Exchange](https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/3c938e4e/ci-hub-connector-for-photoshop).
*   For Office 365, download the connector from [Microsoft AppSource](https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA200001889?tab=Overview).
*   For Figma, download the connector from [Figma](https://ci-hub.com/figma).
*   For Sketch, download the connector for [Sketch](https://ci-hub.com/sketch).

After download, connect CI HUB to the DAM from within these apps. The instructions for each of these are outlined below. Note that for **Adobe and Office 365**, each app (e.g., InDesign or PowerPoint) you use will need a connection to the DAM or Entries, and connections are set up separately. However, the instructions to connect are the same regardless of the Adobe Creative Cloud or Office 365 app you’re in.

**Photoshop** users on Apple Silicon Macs must install this plugin to run Photoshop without Rosetta emulation. The CI HUB Connector supports Photoshop on Apple Mac devices that are equipped with Apple Silicon chips, such as M1, M2, and M3. This connector operates natively on Apple chips and uses UXP technology. The connector is available exclusively for Photoshop.
