Hi @MinhHoangf  Indeed the "Project" button (as @UmaHarano  mentioned) is not a standard Framework Plugin (button) like the other tabs on the ArcGIS Pro ribbon.  But, since ArcGIS Pro is a WPF application, and you can 'spy' on the WPF visual tree (you can use Visual Studio to do so) to find which control implements the "Project" button.   I found that the "Project" control's name is "appButton" and the type of the control is "ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls.Bars.RibbonApplicationButton".  Once ArcGIS Pro is open you can use the code below to update the "Project" button to "New Caption".  Note: since we can't access any ActiProSoftware resources the code below is using reflection to make the .Content property update:   // change the caption of the 'Application' button in the main window: appButton string newCaption = "New Caption"; var mainWindow = FrameworkApplication.Current.MainWindow; if (mainWindow != null) { var appButton = mainWindow.FindName("appButton"); if (appButton != null && appButton is FrameworkElement frameworkElement) { System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine($@"{appButton.GetType()}"); PropertyInfo propertyInfo = appButton.GetType().GetProperty("Content"); propertyInfo.SetValue(appButton, Convert.ChangeType(newCaption, propertyInfo.PropertyType), null); } }   In similar fashion you can update the Application's titlebar, but be aware that the titlebar is getting overwritten by project names.  ...

You need to set your json file's properties (in your project file) to 'Build Action' = 'Content' and 'Copy to Output...' = 'Copy if Newer'   Then in your Add-in use the following path to read the json file: // read the JSON file from the current assembly's executable folder string asmblyPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location); string jsonFilePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(asmblyPath, "MyJsonFile.json"); // read the JSON file string jsonString = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(jsonFilePath); ...

It looks like there's a gap in the ArcGIS Pro API.  Normally you would call FrameworkApplication.ContextMenuDataContext to get the 'underlying' (to your right click) tool.  The problem is that the returned object is an ArcGIS Pro internal class and hence you can't use that class in your add-in.   There is a workaround using reflection that allows you to access the underlying 'tool' context.  However, be advised that this solution is outside the Pro API framework and hence subject to change.  We will submit a new requirement to the Geoprocessing team for consideration.   In order to get the current (right clicked) tool insert this code inside your 'OnClick' button function: protected override void OnClick() { try { var toolInfo = FrameworkApplication.ContextMenuDataContext; //as ArcGIS.Desktop.GeoProcessing.ToolInfoViewModel; // internal class ToolInfo: // public string Name // public string Description // public string ToolType // public bool IsValid // public string ToolBoxName // public string FullPath // public bool IsSystem // public string toolName string name = (string)toolInfo.GetType().GetProperty("Name").GetValue(toolInfo, null); string description = (string)toolInfo.GetType().GetProperty("Description").GetValue(toolInfo, null); string toolType = (string)toolInfo.GetType().GetProperty("ToolType").GetValue(toolInfo, null); string toolBoxName = (string)toolInfo.GetType().GetProperty("ToolBoxName").GetValue(toolInfo, null); string fullPath = (string)toolInfo.GetType().GetProperty("FullPath").GetValue(toolInfo, null); string toolName = (string)toolInfo.GetType().GetProperty("toolName").GetValue(toolInfo, null); bool isValid = (bool)toolInfo.GetType().GetProperty("IsValid").GetValue(toolInfo, null); bool isSystem = (bool)toolInfo.GetType().GetProperty("IsSystem").GetValue(toolInfo, null); string nl = Environment.NewLine; MessageBox.Show($@"Type of toolInfo: {toolInfo.GetType().ToString()}{nl}" + $@"name: {name}{nl}" + $@"description: {description}{nl}" + $@"toolType: {toolType}{nl}" + $@"toolBoxName: {toolBoxName}{nl}" + $@"fullPath: {fullPath}{nl}" + $@"toolName: {toolName}{nl}" + $@"isValid: {isValid}{nl}" + $@"isSystem: {isSystem}{nl}"); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); } } Sample output:   ...
