Hide or show a flipbook

Hide a flipbook when you want to take it off your store for a while but keep it, such as a seasonal catalog. New flipbooks are visible as soon as you create them.

Hide a flipbook

1. In Neo Product Catalog Flipbook, go to Flipbooks.
2. Click the flipbook’s title to open it.
3. In the Publish section, uncheck Visible to customers.
4. Click Save.

In the Flipbooks list, its status changes from Active to Disabled.

What happens when it’s hidden

• The public link stops working. Anyone who opens it no longer sees the flipbook.
• Theme blocks go blank. The flipbook is removed from the theme block’s Flipbook list, so any block that showed it shows nothing to shoppers. In the theme editor, the block shows a notice instead.
• The Public link field disappears from the Publish section.
• The Embed code field stays. Hiding doesn’t remove the code from other websites where you pasted it. See Embed on another website.

Hidden flipbooks still count toward your plan’s flipbook limit. To free up a slot, delete the flipbook instead. See Flipbook limits.

Show it again

1. Open the flipbook and check Visible to customers.
2. Click Save. The Public link field comes back, with the same link as before.
3. In the theme editor, click each Neo Flipbook block that showed the flipbook, pick it again in the Flipbook setting, and click Save.

Pick it again in your theme

Making a flipbook visible again doesn’t put it back in your theme blocks by itself. Re-pick it in every block that should show it. It can take a moment to reappear in the block’s list, so reload the theme editor if it isn’t there yet.

Hide or delete?

Hiding keeps the flipbook, its settings and its link, ready to switch back on. Deleting removes it for good and frees a slot in your plan. See Manage your flipbooks.
