Get to know the Share Tab

The Share Tab is where your Simplebooklet goes from "almost done" to "out in the world." It's home to your branded weblink, your QR code, your embed code, your export options, and every access and engagement setting that controls how readers find and interact with your content. If it has anything to do with how your Simplebooklet gets in front of people, it lives here.

How to Open the Share Tab

1. Open your Dashboard.

2. On the Simplebooklet you want to work on, click Share.

The Share Tab opens with your link controls at the top, then splits into two columns: Publish on the left (everywhere you can send your Simplebooklet) and Manage on the right (how readers experience and access it). The Edit / Design / Record / Share tabs at the very top are the same on every screen — they're how you switch between building (Edit), styling (Design), narrating (Record), and publishing (Share) your Simplebooklet.

Link Visibility

The first thing you'll set at the top of the Share Tab is who can reach your Simplebooklet:

• Public Link — Anyone can access it. Great for marketing pages and content you want indexed.

• Link Only — Only people with the link can open it. Good for private shares.

• Paused — Unpublished and inaccessible until you flip it back on.

You can also tap the pencil icon beside your title up top to update your title, author, and description — these flow into your URL and help with SEO.

Link Management

Just below visibility, your Simplebooklet's URL takes center stage. From here you can:

• Click the link — Opens the live, published version of your Simplebooklet.

• Copy — One-click copy to send your link anywhere.

• QR code — Generate a scannable code for print materials, signage, or mobile sharing.

• Shortlink — Grab a condensed, shareable version of your URL. The shortlink stays the same even if you update your custom URL.

• Pencil icon — Customize your URL to match your brand or content.

• Link Management dropdown — Opens additional link controls all in one place.

Export Options

Five one-click ways to take your Simplebooklet out of the browser:

• PDF — Download a static, flat version for offline viewing or print.

• Install as App — Add your Simplebooklet to a device's home screen for one-tap access.

• Cover Image — Save the cover thumbnail as a JPG or GIF.

• Video — Generate an MP4 complete with page flips, sound, and narration.

• Canva — Send your pages back to Canva for further design tweaks.
