Create a Collection in Simplebooklet

A Collection lets you group multiple Simplebooklets together and display them on a dedicated webpage—like a data room, resource hub, or branded library. You can customize its layout, appearance, and behavior to create a polished, professional browsing experience for your audience.

2. This opens your Collections Page, where you can:

5. Click Create Collection to begin.

6. In the Create a New Simplebooklet Collection popup:
