How to change a public flipbook into an unlisted one in Flipsnack?

Learn how to change a flipbook’s visibility from public to unlisted.

Once a flipbook has been published as public, it cannot be changed to unlisted, as it is already public on the Internet, and search engines might have already indexed it. However, there's a workaround solution for this specific situation, which will solve the issue for most people.

Follow these steps: 

1. Make a copy of the old flipbook.

2. When you choose to publish the copy, make sure that you select the Unlisted option in Visibility.

3. Delete the old flipbook.

Important: The statistics from the old public flipbook will not be reflected in the new flipbook. Once you delete your public flipbook, its URL will return a 404 error code. So, if you had shared the public flipbook's link before, that link would not work anymore. Make sure that you resend the updated link so people can access the new unlisted publication.
