Overview

Flipsnack's Domain Restriction feature lets you control where your flipbooks can appear online. When you embed a flipbook, it means displaying it directly on another website instead of just sharing a link. With this feature, you can allow only specific websites to show your content, preventing unauthorized sites from using or sharing it. This is especially useful for keeping private or sensitive information secure.

Let's discuss your private sharing needs.

Key Benefits

  • Controlled embedding: Restrict your flipbooks to be embedded only on pre-approved websites, ensuring your content is showcased in appropriate contexts.
  • Content security: Prevent unauthorized distribution of your publications by limiting embedding capabilities to trusted domains.
  • Brand protection: Maintain brand consistency and integrity by controlling where and how your content is presented online.

Requirements

  • Enterprise subscription: The domain restriction feature is available for users with an Enterprise plan.

1. Access Embed Options

  • Log in to your Flipsnack account and navigate to the Main Dashboard.
  • Locate the flipbook you wish to manage.

5. Disable Domain Restriction
  • If you decide to lift all domain restrictions, simply toggle the Domain Restriction switch to Off.

Important considerations

  • Activation time: Changes to domain restrictions may take up to 120 seconds to take effect. Please allow this time before testing the new settings.
  • Default settings: Without domain restrictions, your flipbooks can be embedded on any website. Tech-savvy individuals might access and copy the embed code from the page source, even if it's not directly visible.
  • Feature availability: Domain Restriction is exclusive to Flipsnack's Enterprise plan. Ensure your subscription is current to utilize this feature.

By implementing the Domain Restriction feature, your organization can effectively control the distribution of its digital publications, ensuring content is embedded only on authorized platforms. This not only enhances security but also prevents undesirable websites from posting your content.
