Projects built using the 8th Wall Cloud Editor and that have published a commit to the project's Public URL will have access to additional (and optional) 8th Wall-Hosted Features. For all other Featured Projects, this area will remain locked. These features are optional and are not required to publish a Featured Project page to your Public Profile.

Optional Featured Project Page settings for 8th Wall-Hosted projects include:

  • Adding a "Launch" button to a Featured Project page, making it easy for visitors to demo your experience.
  • Making your project code viewable and cloneable to other developers, if you so choose.

To enable either of these options:

  1. Select an existing project or create a new project in your workspace.

SelectProject

  1. Click on Feature Project in the left navigation.

  • The "Launch" button, if enabled:
    • Allows anyone to view what is published to your project's Public URL.

    • Can be used for all project types including Commercial projects with both Active and Completed licenses. *
  • Toggle "Launch" to Public (ON) if you wish to add it to your page. Toggle "Launch" to Hidden (OFF) if you do not want it displayed on your Featured Project page.
