You can create a link to a configurator with predefined input values. This can be very useful when:

• You want to share a link with a colleague or customer pointing to a specific design.
• You want your customers to share links with you or save their configurator designs for themselves.
• You want to create a few predefined starting points that help users begin from the right place.

When you use the configurator, the link in your browser’s address bar automatically includes a special code called configurationState. This code ensures that anyone opening your link will see the same configuration you created. (Read more about how this works at the end of the article.)

Follow these steps to create such a link.

1. Open the configurator

Open the configurator you wish to create a link for.

2. Make changes in the configurator

Adjust the configuration as you like - for example, move a slider, change a dropdown, or select an option.

The configurator will automatically update the configurationState parameter to the URL, which encodes your changes.

3. Copy the link

Once you are satisfied with the setup, simply copy the URL from your browser.

When someone clicks this link, they’ll be taken directly to the same configuration that you created.

How it works

Behind the scenes, the configurator maintains a state that contains all the input values you set - such as slider values and dropdown selections.
