Limitations with qlik-embed

Introduction

Qlik is on a mission to make embedding easy with qlik-embed, while modernizing solutions to remove friction with increasing browser privacy controls, and adding powerful new embedded experiences from the Qlik Cloud platform.

The goal is to bring you more power from the platform. On that journey, you should start with qlik-embed as all of Qlik’s embedding capabilities are brought under a single product. Along this journey, there will be things that don’t work, but maximum effort is being made to close the gaps and provide more configuration possibilities.

This article lists currently known limitations in the components that qlik-embed allows you to embed. This page and the qlik.dev changelog will be updated to communicate closed gaps and new features in qlik-embed.
