# What are the components of a Mirror URL?

A Mirror URL consists of multiple identifiers that determine how the Mirror content loads. These identifiers ensure that the correct account, stage, and content configuration are used.

> [!WARNING]
> **Note**:
> 
> If any identifier in the URL does not match the intended account, stage, or Workflow configuration, the screen might fail to load.

#### Components of a Mirror URL

The exact structure of a Mirror URL depends on how the Workflow is configured. For example, the URL for a Workflow with a Roleplay attached differs from one that is part of a Simulation with an Assessment.

The various components of a Mirror URL include:

| Component | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **ENT ID** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Mirror_ENT_ID.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T14%3A38%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T15%3A38%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=mzkNHRmRjlZ5CO%2BCrG26IPNgG9%2FXDIKlgVIuWJksjww%3D) | Identifies the account to which the Mirror content belongs. |
| **Stage ID** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Mirror_Stage_ID.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T14%3A38%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T15%3A38%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=mzkNHRmRjlZ5CO%2BCrG26IPNgG9%2FXDIKlgVIuWJksjww%3D) | Identifies the stage in which the Mirror exists. It ensures that the content loads from the correct stage environment. > [!NOTE] > Info: > > Stage ID is present in a Mirror URL only when [Content Lifecycle Management (CLM)](/docs/understanding-whatfix-stages) is enabled for your account. |
| **Screen ID** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Mirror_Screen_ID.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T14%3A38%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T15%3A38%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=mzkNHRmRjlZ5CO%2BCrG26IPNgG9%2FXDIKlgVIuWJksjww%3D) | Uniquely identifies a specific Mirror Screen within a Workflow. |
| **Folder ID** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Mirror_Folder_ID.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T14%3A38%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T15%3A38%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=mzkNHRmRjlZ5CO%2BCrG26IPNgG9%2FXDIKlgVIuWJksjww%3D) | Uniquely identifies a Workflow, including Workflows configured for Roleplay. > [!NOTE] > Info: > > Folder ID is present in a Mirror URL only when you attach a Roleplay to a Workflow. In Mirror Roleplay-enabled URLs, the Folder ID is used instead of Screen ID. |
| **Simulation ID** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Mirror_Simulation_ID.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T14%3A38%3A22Z&se=2026-10-29T15%3A38%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=mzkNHRmRjlZ5CO%2BCrG26IPNgG9%2FXDIKlgVIuWJksjww%3D) | Uniquely identifies a Simulation or Assessment instance. All Workflows that belong to the same Simulation share the same Simulation ID. > [!NOTE] > Info: > > Simulation ID is present in a Mirror URL only when you add an Assessment to a Simulation. |

#### URL Structures by Configuration

The following cases show how the Mirror URL structure changes based on the Workflow configuration:

> [!WARNING]
> Note:
> 
> The `<account-domain>` varies based on your regional hosting configuration. For example, it might appear as `whatfix.com` or `eu.whatfix.com`.

**Case 1: Mirror Workflow not part of a Simulation**

```plaintext
https://<account-domain>/service/mirror/serve/{entId}/{stageId}/{screenId}
```

This structure loads the Mirror Workflow that is not part of a Simulation.

---

**Case 2: Mirror Workflow as part of a Simulation with an** **Assessment added**

```plaintext
https://<account-domain>/service/mirror/serve/{entId}/{stageId}/{screenId}?assessmentMode=true&simulationId={simulationId}
```

This structure loads the Mirror Workflow with an Assessment added to a Simulation.

---

**Case 3: Mirror Workflow with a Mirror Roleplay attached**

```plaintext
https://<account-domain>/service/mirror/roleplay/{entId}/{stageId}/{folderId}
```

This structure loads the Mirror Workflow with a Roleplay attached.

The link to a specific Mirror Workflow that opens the simulation in a browser. Each stage (Draft, Ready, or Production) has its own Mirror URL.

An interactive evaluation created by using existing Simulations to measure how proficiently end users complete tasks without assistance.

An AI-powered learning experience that combines a Mirror Workflow with an AI Roleplay to help learners practice application processes and real-world conversations in a simulated environment.
