Perhaps this technique will be useful to you.. This method only works when the user activates extension: Create a <input type="hidden" id="isActiveExt" value="0" /> And add 2 events: window.addEventListener( 'focus', function ( event ) {     var obj = document.querySelector('#isActiveExt');     if ( !parseInt( obj.value ) ) {         obj.value = 1;         // Re-enumerates all layers and artboards     } }); window.addEventListener( 'blur', function ( event ) {     var obj = document.querySelector('#isActiveExt');     if ( parseInt( obj.value ) ) {         obj.value = 0;     } }); Description of the method: When the user activates expansion, there should automatically update all layers and artboards. As a complement, function create thumbnails layers and artboards, you can add in the following events: new CSinterface().addEventListener('documentAfterActivate'); new CSinterface().addEventListener('documentAfterDeactivate'); new CSinterface().addEventListener('applicationActivate'); ...

Hi, o-marat! As an option: Create a new extension, сreate in it arbitary button and add to it an event: your_button.addEventListener('click', function (event) {     new CSInterface().requestOpenExtension('is an extension ID you want to restart', ''); }); Now procedure: 1. Execute the function new CSInterface.closeExtension(); in the extension that you want to restart; 2. Now in the new extension, click on the button, and the extension must be started again. p.s. It works for me, illustrator cc 2014 p.s.s after you have performed the function new CSInterface.closeExtension(); of all subsequent commands will not be executed because extension was closed and discharged, at least in my case works ...

I do not know about you, but I have updated all of the extension.
