DeployX D365

DeployX D365 – Dynamics 365 Plugin Deployment & Explorer for Visual Studio

Deploy, inspect, and manage Microsoft Dynamics 365 plugins directly from Visual Studio.

DeployX D365 brings plugin deployment, environment selection, CRM plugin exploration, and metadata inspection into a single developer-first experience—without switching between Visual Studio and external tools.
