# In-depth guide regarding Additional Option feature

# Basic understanding of Additional Option

Additional option is **an extra selection only showing up on personalization form**, and **does not add any layer to the artwork design**. 

You can use Additional option to:

* * **Add a question to personalized form**

* **Add an extra level of options**

_For example_: You want your customers to choose Hair color before Hairstyle. So you can use an additional option to choose hair color first, then the hairstyle option will show up based on the color selected.

|| The layer of Additional Option itself won't be rendered in order design since it's only an extra selection displaying on form and has no layer in artwork. You will have to add image layers and set their condition based on the Additional Option you create.

* Now, choose a hairstyle that you want to display as first load on storefront. Since your hairstyles are added condition, so you need to enable `Show this layer on first load` for a hairstyle. Or else, hair won't show on storefront.

||| Enable this option for ONLY 1 hairstyle, or else other hairstyles will also be shown on storefront.

_In this example, we will show red hairstyle as first load on storefront_:

|| This is a very important step as it will affect how your default Artwork appear on the Storefront. Please view the comparison below.

|| On the left image, there is no `Show this layer on first load`, and the Hair will not load.


* Click Save and done.

## Step 4: Check result on storefront
