Flipsnack Customize page: redesigned for easier navigation
At the beginning of April, the Customize page will feature a new layout designed to help you find settings faster and navigate more easily.
Note: You can switch to the older version anytime using the Switch option at the bottom of the page. This option will be available for the next 2 months to help you transition.
Overview
With this update, the Customize page will be reorganized into four clear navigation areas: Branding, Appearance, Edit, and Add-ons. This new structure helps you get to the settings you need faster, without scrolling through a long list of sections.
We redesigned the Customize page to align it with Flipsnack’s new design system, similar to Analytics and Overview. The updated layout is easier to scan, reduces scrolling, and helps you find the right settings more quickly.
What changed in the Customize page
Previously, all customization settings: branding, appearance, integrations, lead forms, and accessibility, were stacked in a single vertical panel, requiring a lot of scrolling to navigate.

In the updated interface, these options will be grouped into a side navigation menu with four main areas:
- Branding
- Appearance
- Edit
- Add-ons
This new structure makes it easier to understand where each setting belongs:
