Advanced options

Overwriting the UI settings

You can overwrite the configured styles and settings of the widget by adding custom properties to the embed code. This allows for customizing the styling when embedding the widget in different locations.

When a setting is configured via the properties below, it can no longer be customized via the UI settings.

The properties are specified as attributes within the <released-widget> custom HTML element.

Widget Properties

The following customisation options are available for the widget.

channel-id	The ID of the release notes channel.
position	The position of the widget. Can be top-left, top-right, bottom-right, or bottom-left.
anchor	Can be trigger or viewport. Positions the popup relative to the trigger or the viewport. When using trigger, position translates to... top-left = top-start (popover opens above the trigger and the left of the popover is aligned to the left of the button) top-right = top-end (popover opens above the trigger and the right of the popover is aligned to the right of the button) bottom-left = bottom-start (popover opens below the trigger and the left of the popover is aligned to the left of the button) bottom-right = bottom-end (popover opens below the trigger and the right of the popover is aligned to the right of the button) center = bottom (popover opens below the trigger and the popover is centered horizontally, relative to the trigger) You can find a demo and experiment with different options on Codepen.
trigger	A string specifying a css selector that determines which element on the page will open the dialog when clicked. For example #changelog-button. If not specified, a default trigger button will be rendered.
title	The title of the widget.
sub-title	The subtitle of the widget.
badge	Whether to display a badge with the unread count. Can be true or false.
color-scheme	The color scheme to use for the widget. Can be system, dark, or light.
color-primary	The primary UI color. Can be hex, hsl, rgb, or css color name.
color-secondary	The secondary UI color. Can be hex, hsl, rgb, or css color name.
attributes	Allows for passing data-* attributes to the host container for the widget. For more details see the Attributes section below.
z-index	The z-index to use for the widget.

Data Attributes

Setting data attributes can be helpful to prevent unwanted interactions with 3rd party libraries. For example, to prevent scrolling issues when the Lenis library is used, you can add the data-lenis-prevent attribute to the host container.

Example:

<released-widget channel-id="CHANNEL_ID" data-lenis-prevent=""></released-widget>

The following default values are applied in case a property is not explicitly defined.
