-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 automatically zooms to those elements after loading. Check here, how you can obtain the project URL.

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

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

-multi
Enables starting multiple independent instances of DEON. This is especially helpful when 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 start screen and without the system tray icon.
To leave the project and return to the start screen, you must click the “Home” button in the upper left corner of the project toolbar.
If you open a project from this start screen, the start screen disappears.
To open multiple projects simultaneously in this mode, you must start additional DEON instances.

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

-trace
Enables tracing to collect log data.
