How do I lock my Simplebooklet to my website?

You can lock your Simplebooklet to your own web pages, so it only opens when someone reads it there. Anyone who tries to open it anywhere else, such as from a copied link, is sent to a page you choose, like your sign-in or sign-up page.


Available on Business plans and above. See Choosing Your Simplebooklet Plan.


When should I use Lock to Webpage?


Use it for documents that should only be read inside your own site, such as a members area, an intranet or SharePoint page, or a page behind your own sign-in. Embed your Simplebooklet on that page first. Learn more: How do I embed my Simplebooklet on my website?
