Configure widgets in the administration interface

Developers create and configure default settings for OSF widgets in a local workspace. Once an application is downloaded to a server environment, designers can update a number of settings for the application's widgets on the administration interface Design page.

You can customize the following widget settings in the administration interface:

• Configuration options for the widget. These options are included when a developer creates a widget and are specific to how you want that particular widget to behave on the storefront. For example,
• Text snippets let you customize the default text contained within an individual widget.
• The widget’s display name and internal notes. See Design Your Store Layout for details about working with widgets in the administration interface.

Edit widget configuration options

Keep in mind that not every widget has configuration options.

Edit text snippets

Text snippets let you customize the component-specific text contained within an individual widget. You must also use text snippets to translate widget text into the different languages your store supports.

Note that you must redeploy your application for localization to take effect as the localization mechanism requires that Design Studio text snippets have been created to contain the translated strings.

Note: In this release, you cannot use the administration interface to edit an application's shared locale strings. These can be edited only in a local workspace. See Create locale information to learn more about shared strings.
