Depending on how big your file is, this may take a while, so leave this window open until it’s been fully uploaded. It should upload successfully, however if you get a failed to upload message please get in contact with us!

 Which will bring up a box of code that looks like this:

You can copy & paste this code straight into your website. It will also give you an icon of the front cover of your publication that displays on your website. The icon size will be 100px x 100px (you can find this in the code above, 3rd line down). If you want this to appear bigger or smaller on your website, you can simply edit the sizes from 100px to whatever size you desire.

You can also get a quick URL of your digital edition by going onto the preview of the publication, and copying the link from the browser address bar.
