If I mask my Edition's URL, can users still access my Edition with an HTML5 Link?

If you decide to mask an Edition's URL with your website domain, you may be wondering whether the normal HTML5 Links will still link to your edition. 

The answer is yes! These Embed Links will still direct users to your Edition.

Therefore, if you used either of the HTML5 Links to share your Edition, prior to masking the URL - no worries, as users will still be able to access your Edition with either a masked URL or HTML5 Link.
