The component settings control the global behaviour of your configurator. You find them in the backend under the Settings tab on the left — next to Features and Rules.
Navigation in the Backend
The V3 backend of a component is divided into:
Left panel — Tabs:
- Features — structure tree with features and feature groups
- Rules — rule set (Blacklist and Predefine rules)
- Settings — component settings (this article)
- Feature Group — manage groups
- Price Lists — manage price matrices
Top centre: toggle Edit | Preview
Top right:
- Undo — revert the last change
- Checkout — opens the checkout dialog to transfer the component to a finished integration (e.g. retrieve embed code or test plugin connection)
Right: SETTINGS panel — shows the settings of the currently selected feature (3 sub-tabs: Settings, Referenced in, Media)
Component Settings (Settings Tab → General)

Custom input fields shown when the customer completes the configuration — e.g. name, email or company. Useful in combination with the action button.
Preview
Preview mode shows the configurator as the customer sees it. Click through options and check whether prices, images and rules work correctly.
Note: Preview requires an active HTML5 integration under Settings → Integrations.
Feature Settings (right SETTINGS panel)
When you click a feature in the structure tree or in the preview, the right panel shows its settings with three tabs:
- Settings — basic settings, behaviour, data type, options
- Referenced in — shows which rules use this feature
- Media — images assigned to this feature
Global Settings
Settings that apply to all components in your account (branding, email delivery, integrations, API) are found under Settings in the main navigation of the V3 backend.
