Official Roblox Storybook plugin I didn't install?

TLDR: It’s an internal Roblox testing plugin that wasn’t supposed to be visible to the public. It’s meant for testing upcoming UI features. It’s unusable since it relies on a lot of components we can’t access, but there is a “potato” version called Hoarsekat we can try here!!

After updating my Studio client, I noticed this plugin there that I didn’t install:


Forgive me, for I’m a bit of a newbie developer and don’t have much experience with UI design. But from the looks of it, looks like it’s officially from Roblox?
I tried searching up this new plugin, but there’s literally no info on it. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Did I accidentally enable a beta feature or something?

I was looking for more info, but it seems it’s new from the lastest update. (I was coding in roblox today and I didn’t see it before)

I don’t know why we’d need stories in Roblox… strange.

Oh yeah I saw this. Roblox has been working on a storybook thing for a while now, I guess they finally finished. This may also be in conjunction with style sheets. I guess we’ll see

What is it anyway, I got no clue what it is or what its supposed to do?

New thing, gotta wait it out until there is an announcement in #updates:announcements.

i guess that that is a way to make gui using scripts and to manage/update it without scripts easily

ack ack! I’ve got this appearing, too - it’s populated with some roblox UI. Hoping that this is actually going forth; I’m using UI Labs, which works, but it’s incredibly janky - official Storybook support would be brilliant!

New UPDATE:

I am sad now.

Can confirm that it’s going to be hidden again.

There will probably be open source shared component framework stuff available in the long run but the current visibility was just a mistake. It’s clearly not in a useful state for public consumption as it currently is.

That’s unfortunate, it was full of useful components.

Just download it while you still can so you can reference it whenever you need, atleast thats what ive done

I don’t know where the BuiltIn plugin files are

nvm, found them! it’s called SuperTemplate.rbxm i guess. lots of cool disney xd references

For anyone else interested you can find the plugin here:

%localappdata%\Roblox\Versions\{LATEST_VERSION (just look for most recently changed)}\BuiltInPlugins\Optimized_Embedded_Signature\DeveloperStorybook.rbxm

However by the looks of it all internal plugins have also been provided in this version

so if your interested you may want to just save the whole BuiltInPlugins folder

it’s very odd, i could not find DeveloperStorybook.rbxm but I found a similiar one called SuperTemplate, also the other internal tools did not appear to me


I think its a weird hybrid between a distribution and internal build, maybe I just got lucky with what I got?

btw where did you find that, im having trouble with it

Its just shortcuts you can access it via File > Advaned > Customise Shortcuts


Some more cool stuff, not sure if this is intended to be part of this version but it’s the first time I’ve seen it
