Overview

Every flipbook you create in Flipsnack has its own Overview page (formerly called the Details page). This is the central hub where you manage all aspects of your flipbook.

Key benefits

• Centralized management: Control all flipbook settings from one place

• Improved navigation: Clearer layout with intuitive sections

• Faster actions: Quick access to sharing, downloading, and stats

Accessing the Overview page

1. From My flipbooks, select a flipbook.

2. Click the Overview button (formerly Details).

Editing the flipbook URL

1. At the top of the Overview page, locate the flipbook link.

2. Click Copy link to copy it.

3. To edit the URL, click the Edit icon, type your new URL, and then click Save changes.

Visibility settings

You can control who has access to your flipbook from the Overview page.

1. At the top right, next to the flipbook link, find the Visibility option.

2. Click the Edit icon to change visibility settings.

3. Choose from:

   • Public – Visible on your public profile and indexed by search engines.

   • Unlisted – Accessible only to people you personally share the direct link. 

   • Password protected – Readers must enter a password to view it.

   • Private – Only specific people can see it. Learn more about all the visibility options available in Flipsnack here. 

4. Click Update (or Publish) to save your settings.

Sharing options

From the Overview page, you can easily share your flipbook in different ways.

• Link – Copy the flipbook link or set a specific starting page.

• Trackable links – Create personalized links to track engagement.

• QR code – Generate a QR code that links directly to your flipbook.

• Embed code – Copy the embed code to add your flipbook to a website or blog.

• Send via email – Share the flipbook by sending it directly through email.

• Download – Save your flipbook as HTML5, PDF for web, GIF, MP4. 

Other useful options

Customize preview

Click Customize preview to open the Customize menu, where you can adjust how your flipbook looks in the player.

• Change background colors or images

• Add a logo

Edit content

Click Edit content to return to Design Studio and make changes to your flipbook.

• Update text or images

• Rearrange or delete pages and more. 

Create trackable links

With trackable links, you can share the same flipbook with different people or groups using unique links. This allows you to monitor engagement separately for each audience.

For example:

• Send one trackable link to your sales team and another to a client.

• Check which link generated the most views, clicks, or downloads.

Learn more about setting up trackable links here. 

Optimize SEO

Use the Optimize SEO button to set a meta title and meta description for your flipbook. These help your flipbook appear in search results and make it easier for readers to find.

1. Enter a clear, descriptive title.

2. Write a short description (up to 158 characters) that highlights what your flipbook is about.

3. Click Save changes to apply your settings.

Deactivate flipbook 

The Deactivate option lets you temporarily remove your flipbook from public view without deleting it.

• Your flipbook’s stats and settings remain saved.

• You can reactivate it anytime.

Learn more about flipbook deactivation here. 

Move to trash

Use this option to delete your flipbook. 

Deleted flipbooks are not gone right away — you can recover them from the Trash page. If you need to free up space immediately, you can also permanently remove flipbooks from the Trash. Learn more about how Trash works.

 

Last week's statistics

At the bottom of the flipbook preview, you’ll find the Last week’s statistics section.

Here you can quickly see:

• Impressions – how many times your flipbook was displayed.

• Views – how many people opened your flipbook.

• Average time spent – how long readers stayed on your flipbook.

For more insights, click View detailed analytics to access full performance data.

 

Flipbook details

In the Flipbook details section, you’ll find key information about your publication:

• Title & description: Edit your flipbook’s name and add a description using the Edit button. This option won't change the URL. 

• Status: Shows whether your flipbook is Public, Unlisted, Private, or Password-protected. You can click the status button to change the visibility, edit the title and the description.

• Last updated: Displays the most recent changes made.

• Published on: The publication date. You can edit this field if you want to highlight a different date on your public profile.

• Created on: Shows when the flipbook was originally created.

• Created by: Displays the name of the person who created the flipbook.

• Flipbook type: Indicates whether it was uploaded as a PDF or created from scratch.

• Profile options: Toggle whether the flipbook appears on your public profile, and whether to show or hide the publish date.

 

Organize your flipbooks in My flipbooks

Beyond the Overview page, the My flipbooks dashboard gives you several tools to keep your publications organized:

• Folders and subfolders – Create folders and subfolders to group your publications.

• Drag and drop – Move flipbooks by dragging them, or select several at once with Ctrl/Command-click or Shift-click.

• Search and filters – Use the search bar to find flipbooks, or filter by creator, visibility, labels, or creation date.

• Views – Change views (for example, Workflow view) to see your flipbooks in the layout that suits your process.

• Quick actions – Right-click a flipbook or use the three-dot menu to rename, download, copy, or manage labels.

 

Flipbook limits and reusing flipbooks

On the Professional plan, you can keep up to 50 flipbooks in your account at any time. Each flipbook can contain up to 200 pages, and the maximum PDF upload size is 500 MB. Learn more about file size and page limits.

If you reach your flipbook limit:

• Delete unused flipbooks to free up space.

• Reuse an existing flipbook as a template by updating its content with Edit content instead of creating a new one. This way, the flipbook keeps its link.

• To increase your capacity, contact the Flipsnack team about plan options.

 

Troubleshooting

What to do if a PDF upload or update is failing

• Downsample the image resolution in your PDF to 150 ppi and save the file with a new name before uploading.

• Re-save the PDF using Preview on Mac, or export it to PDF again from Word or PowerPoint, then upload the new file.

If upload issues persist, try the following:

• Restart your browser and device.

• Open Flipsnack in an Incognito/Private window.

• Clear your browser cache and cookies.

• Use the latest version of Google Chrome.

• Temporarily disable browser extensions.

If the problem continues, capture a screenshot or a screen recording of the issue and contact our support team via live chat for personalized help.
