Embedding blueprints

Embedding blueprints

A published blueprint can be embedded elsewhere as a live, interactive frame. Readers pan the diagram and open strata without leaving the host page.

Getting the code

Use Share → Embed on a published blueprint. You get an <iframe> snippet.

The embed URL follows the blueprint's own address:

https://blueprintr.io/embed/<handle>/<slug>

Sizing

The frame reports its own height to the host page, so it grows to fit its content rather than scrolling inside a fixed box. Height and width can also be pinned explicitly.

Pinning a version

An embed can track the latest published version or be pinned to a specific one. Pin it when the embed illustrates a point in time, such as a design as it stood at a decision. Leave it tracking when it should stay current.

What an embed does not do

An embed writes nothing to the reader's device: no cookies, no local storage. Readers see no consent banner. Analytics for embedded views are aggregate and attributed to the embedding page.

Strata open as floating windows inside the frame rather than docking, because there is no page to reflow.

Visibility

Only public and unlisted blueprints can be embedded anonymously. A private blueprint's embed requires the reader to be signed in and permitted, and organisations can restrict embedding to an allow-list of hosts. See enterprise embeds.
