If you have read the recent newspaper articles carefully (of course you have), you surely have noticed that they mention a ‘preview functionality’ in the making. Now, we want you to know it first, so here are some more details on our latest website enhancement:
The preview functionality will allow authors and publishers to decide which pages shall be available for customers to preview. We suggest that authors select the table of contents and a few sample pages. This will allow potential customers to “try out” some parts of your guide before they buy it, build up trust, and increase sales. Guides with a preview will be highlighted in the browse pages and the preview will be accessible from the guide details pages.
Authors will be able to use the preview functionality for new and already published guides. For already published guides, simply edit your guides and select which pages shall be included in the preview. You will find the respective field in the Guide Content section of the publishing/editing page. Everything is fully automatic, and the preview pages are created instantaneously when you (re-)publish your guide.
We expect to have this functionality live in a few days, and we encourage all independent authors to make good use of it!
