# Introducing Excalidraw Automate Script Engine
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hePJcObHIso" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Script Engine scripts are installed in the `Downloaded` subfolder of the `Excalidraw Automate script folder` specified in plugin settings.
In the `Command Palette` installed scripts are prefixed with `Downloaded/`, thus you can always know if you are executing a local script of your own, or one that you have downloaded from GitHub.
## Attention developers and hobby hackers
<img src='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/master/images/hobby-programmer.svg' align='left' style='background-color:whitesmoke; width:80px; margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:10px;'/>
If you want to modify scripts, I recommend moving them to the `Excalidraw Automate script folder` or a different subfolder under the script folder. Scripts in the `Downloaded` folder will be overwritten when you click the `Update this script` button. Note also, that at this time, I do not check if the script file has been updated on GitHub, thus the `Update this script` button is always visible once you have installed a script, not only when an update is available (hope to build this feature in the future).
I would love to include your contribution in the script library. If you have a script of your own that you would like to share with the community, please open a [PR](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/pulls) on GitHub. Be sure to include the following in your pull request
- The [script file](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/tree/master/ea-scripts) with a self explanetory name. The name of the file will be the name of the script in the Command Palette.
- An [image](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/tree/master/images) explaining the scripts purpose. Remember a picture speaks thousand words!
- An update to this file [ea-scripts/index.md](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/blob/master/ea-scripts/index.md)
