Lock your Simplebooklet to a Webpage

The Lock to Webpage feature allows you to restrict access to your Simplebooklet so it can only be opened from specific website URLs. This ensures your content is viewed only in the intended environment, making it ideal for exclusive content, embedded promotions, or controlled distribution. Readers attempting to access your Simplebooklet directly or from unapproved URLs will be redirected to a page of your choice, keeping your content secure.

Available on all paid plans.

How to Lock your Simplebooklet to a lock.

Open your Dashboard and scroll to the Simplebooklet you want to protect.

Tap the Share button for that Simplebooklet

Under the Access Control section, toggle on the Lock to Webpage feature.

The Secure Link pop-up will appear. Here’s what you can do:

Step 1. Add Approved URL(s):

Enter the webpage URL(s) where your Simplebooklet can be accessed. Readers will only be able to open your Simplebooklet from these URLs. To manage your list, click the trash icon to delete a URL or the plus icon to add additional URLs.

Step 2. Set Redirect URL:

Enter the URL where people will be sent if they try to access the Simplebooklet from an unapproved URL.

Toggle on the Enable Secure Link box at the bottom of the pop-up to activate your settings.

You need at least one approved URL to secure your link. A confirmation message will appear once your secure link is enabled. To disable the secure link, you must do so in the pop-up itself, not just in the Access Control section.

To edit or disable your Secure Link, click the Settings icon next to Require Verified Email. From the pop-up, you can update your approved URLs, change your redirect URL, or toggle the feature off entirely.

To fully disable the Secure Link, make sure you do so within the pop-up itself—not just in the Access Control section.

And that’s it! Your Simplebooklet is now locked to your approved webpage(s). If someone tries to access it from an unapproved URL, they’ll be redirected to the URL you set.

Additional Information

You can add or remove approved URLs at any time by revisiting the Secure Link pop-up.

Locking a Simplebooklet to specific URLs works alongside other access controls like Password Protection or Require Verified Email for layered security.

To test the feature, try opening your Simplebooklet from both an approved URL and a non-approved URL to confirm the redirect is working correctly.

How this impacts the Reader’s Journey

Locking your Simplebooklet to a specific webpage ensures your audience experiences your content exactly where you want it, supporting the Awareness stage by directing readers to the intended source. It also strengthens the Engagement stage by keeping interactions controlled and reducing distractions, making it easier for readers to focus entirely on your content. By guiding your audience through approved URLs, you maintain the integrity of your Simplebooklet, ensure consistent access behavior, and create a more predictable and immersive reading experience.
