Add a Caption Hotspot to your Simplebooklet

Adding a caption hotspot to your Simplebooklet allows you to display additional information or context on your booklet. You can add a link and a caption to provide more details about the linked area. Follow these steps to set up your caption hotspot.

Available on all plans.

How to Add a Caption Hotspot to your Simplebooklet

Open your Dashboard and scroll to the Simplebooklet you want to add a link hotspot to.

Click the Edit tab.

Select the page where you want to add the hotspot.

In the left-hand toolbar, click the Hotspot button.

From the drop-down menu, select Caption.

Enter an optional Link URL in the provided field, if you want to link the caption to an external site.

In the Text Box below, type your caption text.

Once you're satisfied with the details, click Save. Your hotspot will now be added to the page.

Click on the hotspot to resize and reposition it using the Element Editor.

In the Edit Tab, your hotspot will appear with orange outlines and icons. However, once you preview your booklet or share it, viewers will not see these orange outlines or icons. The hotspot will still be interactive, but the visual indicators will be hidden. These hotspots will briefly flash when the page is first opened to help viewers identify them as clickable, but the outlines will not remain visible. To make the clickable areas more obvious, consider adding an icon or website text below your hotspot to signal to users that it's a clickable link.

Preview your booklet to ensure that everything works as expected.

Your caption hotspot is now added and ready to be interacted with!

If you want to change any settings for your hotspot later, just click on the small orange box to the left of the hotspot. This will allow you to access the settings and make any necessary adjustments
