Access the environment variables for a site

The Deploy app's Developer settings tab provides environment variables that let you connect your app to a site running in an environment.

Use these environment variables to get started with local development without Docker containers or deploy your app to a hosting platform such as Vercel.

To access the environment variables for a site:

1. On the navigation pane of the Deploy app, click Projects.
2. On the Projects page, click the project that contains the environment where you want to view the site's environment variables.
3. Click the name of the relevant environment.
4. In the Developer settings tab, In the Site drop-down menu, choose the site you want your app to connect to. The drop-down menu lists all sites, including each site in a multisite application setup. If using a multisite setup, choose the site you want to use as the app's default site.
5. In the SDK version selector, choose the appropriate version of JSS or Content SDK. You can find your JSS app's version in the version property of the package.json file.
6. If your app uses Content SDK or JSS 21.6+, in the Context selector, select one of the following:
   • Preview - grants access to all content, including drafts and unpublished content.
   • Live - grants access to published content. Use this for production apps.
