Embedded Editor Launch Modes

Control what users see when they first open the embedded editor.

Available Launch Modes

1. Template Gallery (gallery)

Users see a gallery of available templates to choose from.

<embed src="...?embed=CONFIG_ID&launch-mode=gallery" />

2. Direct Template (template)

Open directly into a specific template for editing.

<embed src="...?embed=CONFIG_ID&launch-mode=template" />

Requires a template ID in the URL path.

3. Blank Canvas (blank)

Start with an empty canvas at specified dimensions.

<embed src="...?embed=CONFIG_ID&launch-mode=blank&w=1080&h=1080" />

4. Clone Mode

Create a copy of a template for the user to customize.

<embed src="...?embed=CONFIG_ID&clone=TEMPLATE_ID" />

Configuration

Set the default in your Embed Settings:

1. Go to Embed Settings
2. Find Launch Mode
3. Select: gallery, template, or blank

Or override per-embed using URL parameters.

Template Selection Mode

When using gallery mode, control which templates appear:

<!-- Show only templates from a specific folder -->
<embed src="...?embed=CONFIG_ID&launch-mode=gallery&folder=FOLDER_ID" />

<!-- Show account templates + user's templates -->
<embed src="...?embed=CONFIG_ID&external-id=user-123&include-account-templates=true" />

Best Practices

• Use clone for personalization flows
• Use gallery when users choose their design
• Use template for guided editing workflows
• Use blank for creative freedom
