-url
Loads a specific project at startup.
Example:
„C:Program FilesDeonDeon.exe“ -url https://cloud.deon.eu/Web/l/Name?2b573660-3464-40aa-9876-374186f910a6
Note: The project URL can also target specific elements within a project. The project then zooms automatically to these elements after loading. Check here, how to obtain the project URL.

-present
Starts DEON in presentation mode, loads the topmost presentation path from the beginning, and starts it automatically.

-uiless
(Use this in combination with -url)
Puts DEON into full-screen mode without user interface after loading the project.

-multi
Allows starting multiple independent instances of DEON. This is particularly helpful if you want to use different versions of DEON in parallel. Without this parameter, DEON would use a free process of an already running instance instead of starting a new one.
With -multi, DEON starts without a persistent startup screen and without the system tray icon.
To exit the project and return to the startup screen, you need to click the “Home” button in the top left corner of the project toolbar.
If you open a project from this startup screen, the startup screen disappears.
To open multiple projects simultaneously in this mode, you need to start additional DEON instances.

-nochanges
Changes in a project are not highlighted after loading the project.
Note: Only works when a specific project is loaded with the -url parameter.

-trace
Enables tracing to collect log data.
