Every magazine on YUMPU offers plenty of settings you can personalize.
Let’s walk you through each option so you can get the most out of your publication.


How to Access Your Magazine Settings

Go to "My Publications" by clicking on your profile icon in the top-right corner and selecting it from the dropdown menu.

  • In your Document Section, you’ll see a list of your magazines.

  • To access the settings for a specific magazine, either click on the title of the magazine or on the three dots (⋯) to the right of the magazine, then select "Edit".

  • This will open the Document Settings, where you can edit the title, description, tags, visibility, and more.


Re-Upload

  • If your PDF has changed, you can upload a new version as a revision.

  • All your previous settings, views, and URLs will stay exactly the same — only the magazine file will be updated.

  • If you’ve already added hotspots, you should export them first and re-import after the update.

Basic Information
