Get to Know Your Navbar
Your navbar is the frame around your booklet — it's how readers navigate your content, learn about you, share your booklet, and take action. Everything in the navbar is optional and configurable, so you can build a minimal reading experience or a fully-featured one depending on your audience and goals.
You control your navbar from the Design tab. Each section of the left-hand toolbar corresponds to a section of your navbar.
Nav Layout
Before you add content to your navbar, you choose the shape of it. Nav Layout lets you pick a visual style for your navbar across desktop, mobile, and embedded views — from a slim candy bar at the bottom to a full website-style header, or no navbar at all for a completely clean presentation. You can also set the navbar language here, which controls the text in buttons, tooltips, and interface elements.

Info
The Info section is where readers learn about your booklet. You can display your booklet title and organization name, a short summary, opens count, page numbers, a search bar, a table of contents, a collections link, the creation and last-revised dates, and a terms of service link. Each option is an independent toggle.

Contact
The Contact section is how readers reach you. You can display your business details (Contact Card), add an interactive form readers can fill out (Contact Form), and add a Follow button so readers can subscribe to updates from your booklet.

Share
The Share section gives readers ways to take your booklet beyond the screen. You can let them download a PDF, install your booklet as an app, copy an embed code, scan a QR code, or share directly to social media or email.

Controls
The Controls section gives readers navigation tools: a Home button to jump back to the first page, Fullscreen, Zoom, a Thumbnail Preview grid, and a page number tracker. These appear as icon buttons in your navbar.

Advanced
The Advanced section adds features that go beyond standard navigation — an Accessibility Menu with a text-only version of your booklet for screen readers, a Custom Button that links to any URL, translated versions of your booklet in up to 15 languages, and downloadable file attachments readers can access via the paperclip icon.

Tips
- You don't have to use everything. Start with the sections most relevant to your audience and add more over time.
- Changes in all sections save automatically — there's no separate Save button.
- A live preview drawer opens on the right whenever you edit a section, so you can see exactly how your navbar will look before your readers do.
