Embed Viewer

Display an embed within an <iframe>.

  • If no embed id was included when creating the token, the <iframe> first displays a document picker where the user can create and configure a new embed.
  • If embed id was included, then, depending on the embed session token request body and embed settings, the <iframe> displays either an embedded document viewer, an embedded editor where users can collaborate, or an embed configuration page for the associated document.
