Get to Know Preview Mode

Preview Mode is where you step out of the editor and experience your Simplebooklet exactly the way your audience will — flipping through pages, watching the transitions, hearing the narration. It's the last stop before you share, and it doubles as a launchpad: from here you can switch to any device view, swap themes, troubleshoot a wonky conversion, or share your link.

Available on all plans.

How to Open Preview Mode

From your Dashboard, click the cover image of any Simplebooklet. This opens Preview with a setup drawer on the left that walks you through your next steps.

To hide the setup drawer, click the X at the top of the panel. To bring it back, click the Welcome Preview icon in the top-right corner of Preview Mode.

The Setup Drawer

When you open Preview from your Dashboard, the Your Simplebooklet Is Ready! drawer appears on the left with four sections.

Glow Up

Simplebooklet automatically makes any links in your booklet interactive. You'll see Link Hotspots already checked off with a green checkmark — no action needed.

Below that, What's Next shows AI-powered recommendations based on your content. Click View Recommendations to open the AI Expert in the Design tab, where you can run or review any of the following:

Color — Builds a custom color palette from your Simplebooklet.
Summary — Writes a summary for SEO, social posts, and your info menu.
Table of Contents — Organizes your booklet into sections by page.
Accessibility — Adds accessibility content to your pages.
Translate — Reaches readers in their own language.
Logo — Sets up your logo as a smart block.
Contact Card — Sets up your contact card.

Click Review beside any feature to see what the agent produced and make changes.

Customize

Links directly to the Design, Edit, and Record tabs so you can tune your pages, presentation, and narration without leaving the flow.

Troubleshoot

If your Simplebooklet didn't convert quite right — blurry images, broken fonts, bad layouts — click Rebuild your Simplebooklet. Your booklet will reconvert automatically. You'll see a loading screen, then return to Preview with the changes applied. If things still don't look right, reach out via the help chat.

Your Link

Click Share or Embed to go straight to the Share tab where you can copy your link, post to social, or grab your embed code.

Device View — Three device icons let you flip between Desktop, Mobile, and Tablet views. Switch between them anytime to make sure your design holds up everywhere.

Flip — Click to change your page transition on the fly. Try different page-flip animations — magazine, brochure, presentation, and more — and find the one that fits your content.

Themes — Opens a Themes panel where you can change the look and feel of your Simplebooklet in one click. Browse through preset themes to find a vibe that fits. For deeper branding tweaks, use the Design tab.

Help — Opens a quick info modal that explains what each part of Preview Mode does.

Share — Takes you straight to the Share tab so you can copy your link, post to social, or grab your embed code.
