Set up launch buttons in Solsta to give your team one-click shortcuts for running files after installing an environment. Launch buttons let you create custom workflows or allow members to quickly run or open files after installing an environment.

‍

Two Types of Launch Buttons

• Global Custom – Created at the Environment level and visible to everyone on your team who installs the environment. Only Admins can create global launch buttons.
• User (Local) – Personal launch buttons visible only to the creator, designed for faster shortcuts and workflows.

‍

1. Open Product → Environment.
2. Select the Launch Buttons tab.
3. Click Create Launch Button.
4. Enter:
   • Executable (required)
   • Arguments (optional)
