How to Share or Distribute My Flipbook

How to Share or Distribute My Flipbook

Once your edition is ready to be shared, there are several ways to use the link options presented. Read on to learn more.

First, click on Links when you are on the Dashboard, under My Editions.  The Embed Links box will pop up.


Short HTML5

The short html5 link is best for sharing via social media or as part of your email signature. This link is created using the Account Name and Edition Title. 

HTML5 Link

The html5 link is a long link, typically used for embedding on a site. You can also use this if you do not wish to display the account name or edition title when you share the link.

The auto latest link shows the most recent version of the content you have updated. If you make a lot of updates to the content, you will want to use this link.

The gif link allows you to embed a flipping image on your site. When you copy and paste the link, you need to use only this part of the link:

Mini Flipper

The gif mini flipper allows you to include a flipping image of your flipbook. Many users include it as part of their email signature. To use it, simply copy and paste into email or wherever you are utilizing it. We like to use it in by placing the short html5 link underneath the gif, like so:


https://Admin-Walkthrough.dcatalog.com/v/WalkthroughGuide/ (this is just an example, not a working link)

Static Image

The static image is the cover of your flipbook. You can use it just as you would the gif flipping book image, with the static image on top of the short html5 link, and as part of your email signature. 

Reindex

You can reindex your links to refresh them with the newest information. You sometimes need to use the reindex button if your content isn't displaying correctly.

 

Click the reindex button. You will see this box pop up:


Press "Go!" and the reindex will start:



There is no way to pick a certain link to reindex, so use this action with caution when uploading new content.
