Add a Website Hotspot

Add a Website Hotspot to your Simplebooklet


Adding a website hotspot to your Simplebooklet allows you to link specific areas of your booklet to external websites, making your content more interactive. Whether you're linking to a business page, social media, or any other site, follow these steps to set up your website hotspot.


Available on all plans.


How to Add a Website Hotspot to your Simplebooklet


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


  1. Click the Edit tab.



  1. Select the page where you want to add the hotspot.


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



  1. From the drop-down menu, select Website.



  1. Enter the Website URL you want to link to in the provided field.



  1. Choose how the link will open:



  • Open in Lightbox: The website will open in a lightbox (an overlay on the same page).


  • Open in New Tab: The website will open in a new browser tab.


  • Open in Current Tab: The website will open in the same browser tab.


  1. Once you're happy with your selection, click the Save button. Your hotspot will now appear on the page.



  1. 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.


  1. Preview your booklet to ensure that everything works as expected.



  1. Your website 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
