Notes

The only customization for note embeds is the max-width, which allows you to specify the width of the annotation embed.

Pages

Page embeds do not have customization options at this time.

Projects

  • width

  • height

  • title - Allows you to set a title for the project embed on the page. Set the title by appending &title=your_example_title to the src url. This is not to be mistaken with the title property which is there for accessibility and does not change the appearance of the embed.

  • searchbar - Setting this option to 1 will display a button that says "Search this document collection" above the documents in the project embed, which will link to the searchable project on DocumentCloud. Activate this option by appending &searchbar=1 to the src url of the project embed. Defaults to 0 (false).
