Hello,

this is our plugin developer guide:

> **[External plugin development | Kibana Guide \[7.12\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/external-plugin-development.html)**

@matw any inputs?  
Also our licensing information might be important:

Sorry for the late reply.

So currently the DocViewer component is not exported by the Discover plugin, so it's just possible to add views and use it in Discover:

I'm interested what your're trying to build and how you wann use it?

Thx & Best,  
Matthias
