Customize the viewer
Every flipbook has settings that control how the viewer looks and works for shoppers. You change them on the flipbook’s edit page in Neo Product Catalog Flipbook, and the live preview shows each change straight away.

- Click Save to publish your changes. You see the message “Flipbook saved.” The flipbook’s link stays the same, so everyone who already has it sees the new version.
