Hello @xiaoqi
The description of the [attachEvent](https://api.onlyoffice.com/docs/office-api/usage-api/spreadsheet-api/api/attachevent/) method says:
> Subscribes to the specified event and calls the callback function when the event fires.
This method allows connecting to the any plugin event for the specified editor. Please find the list of events here:
> **[Events
- ONLYOFFICE Api Documentation](https://legacy-api.onlyoffice.com/plugin/events)**
>
> ONLYOFFICE Developer API

Hello @guochongjin
Unfortunately, the documentation is being updated, currently there is no list available. Technically, these are indeed plugin events.

@guochongjin, @xiaoqi
I’d like to bring some clarifications on `attachEvent` method – basically, this method for each editor already demonstrates the event that can be utilized:
- `attachEvent` for text document editor can only use `asc_onHyperlinkClick`:
[attachEvent | ONLYOFFICE](https://api.onlyoffice.com/docs/office-api/usage-api/text-document-api/Api/Methods/attachEvent/)
- `attachEvent` for spreadsheet editor can only use `onWorksheetChange `:
[attachEvent | ONLYOFFICE](https://api.onlyoffice.com/docs/office-api/usage-api/spreadsheet-api/Api/Methods/attachEvent/)
- `attachEvent` for presentation editor can only use the same `asc_onHyperlinkClick`:
[attachEvent | ONLYOFFICE](https://api.onlyoffice.com/docs/office-api/usage-api/presentation-api/Api/Methods/attachEvent/)
Other than that, they cannot utilize any other plugin event. I was incorrect mentioning plugin events here:
> [@Constantine](#):
>
> This method allows connecting to the any plugin event for the specified editor.

> [@guochongjin](#):

> Whether these two event are the same?
Answering this question now – `attachEvent` for Office API (all links to the variants for each editor I’ve mentioned above) cannot work with plugin events, so they are **not the same**.
Please accept my sincere apologies for confusion. We’ll update descriptions of each `attachEvent` method to make it more clearer towards the understanding of their capabilities.
