Adding features to your Flipbook

Learn about the Features Panel & Options in Flipbooks Online

Flipbooks can include additional reader features such as Search, Highlighting, sharing etc. These features are enabled via the features panel in the right bar of the editor.

Features enabled here will appear in the Features panel on your Flipbook.
In all there are 14 options that you can add to your toolbar.  Having all 14 visible at the same time would take up alot of space so what the Flipbook viewer does is it shows the first 9 options and then has a more option that creates a submenu with all other options.

Below is a brief description of each feature
