Launch buttons can be limited to certain audiences or user groups if needed. When setting up the launch site integration in the Integrations tab of the launch page, click on the drop-down menu in the Choose which group is allowed to launch this site section. More than one user group can be selected. More information on setting up user groups and audiences can be found here. If there is no restricted access, leave this field blank.

You can also add an icon to the launch page button from the Icon area. Either drop the image into the drop a file section or navigate to the image from files or your computer. More information on adding images and files can be found here.

You can setup most Member related data to be transferred on launch.

Here is a video covering the setup of launch data transfer:

Note that: During the video there was an error in the demo and the data was not transferred this is because data is only transferred on login and in the video we were already logged into the launched site.
