Publish a configured product in Showroom

Showroom turns prepared Glossi product state into a customer-facing interactive experience. A published product can expose approved configurations, allowed materials, saved image views, and 360 playback without exposing the full Studio.

Showroom is a separate runtime built from the same products and project data used for content production.

Prepare the source project

Before adding a product, confirm that its Glossi project contains:

• the intended product and supported configurations
• stable material groups for customer-facing surfaces
• approved materials in the workspace library
• a useful thumbnail or render
• saved image views
• a 360 clip where motion navigation is required

Open the project in Studio at least once when the required material groups or captured views have not yet been stored.

Configure the Showroom brand

Open Settings, then Showroom. Use the settings area to define the supported brand and collection copy shown by the customer experience.

Keep labels useful when a field is left empty. Test the empty state and product index as carefully as the configured product page.

Add a product

1. Open the Models or products area in Showroom settings.
2. Choose Add Model.
3. Select the prepared product or project exposed by the picker.
4. Open its Showroom detail page.
5. Configure the customer-facing name, thumbnail, supported variants, surfaces, materials, and views.

Removing a product from Showroom does not delete the underlying Glossi model or project.

Define customer-facing surfaces

A surface is a meaningful configurable region such as Upper, Frame, or Trim. It can represent several underlying material groups while presenting one clear choice to the customer.

1. Create the surface and give it a customer-facing name.
2. Assign the underlying model groups to that surface.
3. Select the approved materials that surface can receive.
4. Test every allowed combination in the live experience.

Do not expose an internal mesh or material-slot name when the customer thinks in terms of product parts.

Add product configurations

Name the supported product variants or modeled options in language the customer understands. Keep only valid, sellable states available.

Pricing metadata can be configured for supported products and variants. Material-dependent price deltas are not fully wired in the current Showroom runtime, so do not rely on a finish choice to update price without an end-to-end test.

Reuse approved views

Saved image angles can become guided viewpoints in Showroom. A supported 360 clip can provide rotational playback. These views let the customer inspect the product through framing the brand has already approved.

Test the published experience

Before sharing Showroom with a customer:

• open every published product
• switch every allowed configuration
• apply every allowed surface material
• recall each saved view
• test 360 playback
• reload the page with a selected configuration
• verify the result on the target browser and screen size

Selected Showroom state can persist in the URL. A dedicated public share action and a complete unauthenticated sharing workflow are not currently finished, so confirm the intended access path before external distribution.

Know the boundary

Showroom’s shipped core is controlled product configuration and authored navigation in a branded experience. Complete checkout, guaranteed price behavior across material choices, and general public sharing should not be treated as available without a specific implementation review.
