What if I don’t upgrade to the latest version, what must I do to retain my audience?

When browsers drop support for flash, this will mean your end readers may not be able to view the flash version of your online magazine on certain web browsers. If you are not upgrading to Version 8, then it is highly advisable to provide your readers with the alternate HTML5 version link to view your existing issues.

To achieve this you would need to edit/amend the online magazine URL to switch to display the HTML5 version accordingly. Please see below for examples:

3D Issue Version 5
· Flash
www.yoursite.com/magazines/issue1/index.html
· HTML5
www.yoursite.com/magazines/issue1/files/html5/index.html

3D Issue Version 6.0 and newer
· Flash
www.yoursite.com/magazines/issue1/index.html
· HTML5
www.yoursite.com/magazines/issue1/html5/index.html

Version 7.2, 7.3, 7.4

In these versions of the software there is a “HTML5 Only” output option. When this option is selected the software will only build a html5 only version of the magazine and the link generated will automatically load the html5 version. You should be able to select this option under the formats panel in the output tab in the software.
