Viewing custom macro content in an overlay

In the overlay mode, users can view macro content in detail and perform further actions using the toolbar. This page will help you design a consistent full-screen overlay for custom macro content.

Graphic elements required

There are no specific assets required for previewing custom macro content, but you should ensure that the toolbars displayed within the iframe are consistent with the example shown below. The toolbar isn't provided by Connect.

If you're representing actions with icons, use a 1px white outline line style at 16x16 pixels.

Recommendations
