How to restart a flipbook from page one after reload

Add a link parameter so readers always open on the first page

A flipbook normally reopens on the last page a reader viewed, but adding ?p=1 to the end of its shared link forces it to start from page one every time. Enable Share options in the flipbook's Customize menu, then copy the link and append ?p=1 so it always opens on the first page after a refresh.

When you refresh the page or revisit the URL, the flipbook typically resumes from the last viewed page. However, if you prefer to have the flipbook start from the very first page each time, follow these steps:

  • Go to the Customize menu
    Open the "Customize" section of your flipbook settings.
  • Enable sharing options from the menu controls
    In the Menu controls, enable the Share options.

  • Copy the link with '?p=1'
    The link you will share must include 'p=1' at the end. Enable 'From current page', and click on 'Get share link'. 

    Example: https://www.flipsnack.com/exampleuser/flipbook-title/full-view.html?p=1

    This ensures that the flipbook starts from the first page whenever someone opens or refreshes the page. Or, you can simply add ?p=1 at the end of your usual URL.

By following these steps, you can easily set up your flipbook to always begin from the first page, even if the page is refreshed or revisited.
