Every AppLink will work in similar way.
At first, you should read installation notes, then install corresponding AppLink.
After installing you should run your App, then run 3D-Coat. There should appear the new menu in 3D-Coat – File-> Open in -> Your app name.
You may use this item to bring 3DCoat’s models from any room (Paint, Retopo, Voxels) to your app with color, normal, displacement and specular. But you should choose what you need – displacement or normalmap, not both at once.
Also you may bring your models from your app to 3D-Coat using plugin. In this case you will get new item in menu – File -> Open in original app. In so way you may bring model back to your app.

Please read notes in HowToDo.txt and you will understand everything easily.
It could be good to make installer for all AppLinks to make user’s life easy
