How to set the expiration date for my flipbook’s link?

As you already know, you can share all your flipbooks easily on the web thanks to multiple sharing options available at Publuu. One of them is sharing via a direct link – you can send it to your client and then monitor his activity.

But in some cases, you want a link to your flipbook to be active for a certain amount of time and then expire automatically.

We have good news – it is possible at Publuu!

To learn how to make your flipbook’s link expire on a certain date read the following instruction.

NOTICE!

To set the expiration date for your flipbook’s link you have to employ the tracking links function available only in Optimum, Premium and Professional plans. If you are a Basic plan user, upgrade your subscription first to use this function.

The first thing you need to do is to log in to your account and generate a tracking link to your publication. To do so, click the TRACKING LINKS option in the flipbook’s control panel,

and when it expands, press the GENERATE LINK button below.
