SDK Requirements
The SDK is entirely client-side. There are no server-side dependencies or backend infrastructure requirements for your application.
- HTTPS — Your application must be served over HTTPS. The SDK will not load on insecure (
http://) origins. - JavaScript enabled — The end user's browser must have JavaScript enabled.
- DOM access — The SDK requires access to the Document Object Model to render overlays and anchor elements.
- Network access — The browser must be able to reach the SDK CDN and API endpoints.
- No third-party cookies required — The SDK uses first-party storage only (localStorage and sessionStorage).
The SDK bundle is approximately 45 KB gzipped and loads asynchronously, so it does not block page rendering or affect your application's initial load time.
Dashboard Requirements
The BreakGround dashboard is used by content creators and administrators to build, manage, and analyze guidance content.
- Browser — Chrome (latest version) is recommended. Other supported browsers work but Chrome provides the best experience for the visual editor.
- Screen resolution — Minimum 1280x720. A resolution of 1920x1080 or higher is recommended for the flow builder.
- Internet connection — A stable broadband connection is required for the visual editor and live preview.
- Chrome Extension — The BreakGround Chrome Extension is required for creating and editing flows, tooltips, and other content types.
