Document tracking allows Connect Fonts to show which fonts are used in your documents. You can open a file and activate the fonts at the same time by double-clicking on the document in the Document Tracking panel.
To use document tracking, the "Enable Document Tracking" checkbox must be checked in Connect Fonts preferences. Go to Connect Fonts Menu > Manage Plug-ins.
Adding documents to Document Tracking
Drag and Drop: Add files by dragging them onto the Document Tracking section in the left panel; Connect Fonts will add the document to the appropriate application.
Adding by saving: In Sketch and Adobe CC applications, the plug-ins adds documents to Document Tracking when they are saved.
Note: Connect Fonts only supports file types for the applications listed under Document Tracking.
