The Conga Batch custom object uses a Launch button to initiate the batch process. There are four versions of the Launch button but only one is included on the Conga Batch page layout by default.

Conga recommends using this default Launch button as it uses Salesforce OAuth (open authorization) session identification, which is the most secure.

Each version of the Launch button is described below. View details by navigating to Salesforce Setup → Build →Create → Objects → Conga Batch → Buttons, Links, and Actions.

LaunchLaunchYesThis is the default Launch button and the one Conga recommends using. It launches Conga Batch using Salesforce’s OAuth session identification and takes into account the Conga Batch Environment and Version fields.
LaunchLaunch_DevNoThis is an alternate version of the default Launch button. It launches Conga Batch Release 8 using a Salesforce session ID instead of OAuth and does not take into account the Conga Batch Environment or Version fields.
Launch C7Launch_C7NoAn alternate version of the default Launch button, it initiates Conga Batch Release 7 (the older version of Conga Batch).
C8Launch_C8NoAn alternate version of the default Launch button. This button is the same as the default Launch button but uses querystring parameters instead of the Visualforce page.
