Launchers

A launcher is a persistent control placed next to an element. Pressing it runs an action, typically starting a walkthrough or opening a documentation link.

Settings

Setting	Values
Style	icon, button, link
Icon	help, info, play, document, new
Placement	Relative to the anchor element
Label and tooltip	Text shown on the control and on hover
Action	start-content, open-resource, open-url, open-resource-center, dismiss, acknowledge

A walkthrough with the trigger type launcher starts when a launcher runs start-content for it.

Worked example

Put a "How do I?" link beside a form title:

1. New content, Launcher. Name it "Intake help".
2. Pick the page heading as the anchor.
3. Style link, label "How do I enter a claim?".
4. Action start-content, target the intake walkthrough. Publish.
5. On the walkthrough, set the trigger to launcher so it only runs from this control.

Gotchas

• Announcements cannot use a launcher trigger. The Checks panel warns with trigger-unsupported.
• Launchers inside iframes work for same-origin frames and, through the frame agent, for one cross-origin hop. See known limits.
• Icons and the help bubble can collide in a corner. The help bubble can be moved in app settings.
