🌐 All Magazine Settings at a Glance – Customize Your Publication Easily


✅ 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

Navigate to your Document Manager by clicking on "My Publications".


📄 Document Overview

At the top of your magazine settings, you’ll see a preview of your magazine.


🔄 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.
