Code snippets are shareable and reusable pieces of code or text in the Process Editor. They can be found from the Snippets button in the sidebar.

Creating a new Snippet

You can create a new Snippet by clicking the Create new Snippet button in the Snippets panel. Here you may give the Snippet a name that the parameter input uses to get the Snippet's content.

Shared Snippet

Sharing a Snippet means that it will be visible to other users. If sharing a Snippet, only you the creator and admins can edit or remove it.

Language specific Snippet

Selecting a specific language for the Snippet means that the Snippet will only be visible for a parameter editor using that language mode.

Selecting 'All' means that the Snippet will be visible for all language modes.

Using the Snippet

You can use the Snippet by typing #snippet.CustomXML in this case and press enter to insert the Snippet's content.

Updating a Snippet

You can update a Snippet by clicking its name in the Snippet panel and then modifying the Snippet's content and/or changing its visibility to other users. Only the Snippet's creator or an admin can update a Snippet.

Deleting a Snippet

You can delete a Snippet from the trash button next to the Snippet. Only a Snippets' creator or an admin can remove a shared Snippet.
