Developer Mode

Developer mode surfaces, on top of Legaldoc’s document editor, the technical detail you don’t normally see as an end user — useful while building your integration, to confirm the IDs and coordinates you use in the API match what you see on screen.

What it shows

With developer mode on, each field in the editor displays:

• Field ID — the field’s unique identifier.
• Recipient ID — which recipient it’s assigned to.
• Position (X / Y) — the field’s position on the page.
• Width / Height — the field’s dimensions.

How to enable it

Add the ?devmode=true parameter to the document editor’s URL in your Legaldoc account. This is useful, for example, to visually confirm where a field ended up after creating it by coordinates (see Integration Guide) before reproducing that position on other documents.
