2. Add the iframe component to your WIX website

Switch over to WIX, make sure you are in edit mode and on the page that you want to add your publication. Then go to the top bar and click on “add”, “Section to Page” and then “HTML Embed” as shown in the illustration above. Drag the block to where you want it on your webpage. 

 

3. Embed your flipbook publication

Go back to the left-hand menu, click the HTML settings and a new section will open. Paste the copied code snippet in the “PASTE YOUR CODE” section. This should make your publication show up in the new website section.

 

4. Modify your digital publication 

To make sure you get the right proportions go back to the HTML settings and the code snippet. Change the width to 100% and the height to 100%.
