A magazine offers many different settings that you can edit, which will be explained in detail here.

First navigate to the document manager by clicking on "My Publications".

Then click on the little "Pen icon".

Document

At the top of the magazine settings, there is a preview of the magazine

Re-Upload: If the PDF of your magazine has changed you can upload the new version as a revision. All the settings, views and the URL will stay the same while the magazine itself changes. If you already added hotspots you need to first export them and import them after the update. More about that here

Basic information 

The first settings are the basics which should be changed on every magazine.

Title: The title of the magazine which is displayed prominently under the magazine. Try to keep the title as simple but still informative as possible.

Description: The description will be shown under the title and can be much more in detail. Try to fully describe your magazine, which doesn't only help your readers but also our search engine to better index your magazine.

Language: Choose the language in which the magazine was written. This defines in what language the UI around your magazine will be shown.

Tags: The tags help Yumpu and other search engines to better categorise and index your magazine. Choose a few tags that best describe the content of your magazine, but not too many.
