Use the links detected in your PDF, test a private draft and review publication history. Learn how to restore a catalogue’s interactive elements.

Suggestions, drafts and publication history English video with English captions. 1 min 08 s

Review links detected in your PDF

Review suggestions in the Enrich tab and filter detected web links, emails, phone numbers or videos. Check each destination before converting a suggestion into a customisable element. A link area already detected in the PDF can work without conversion; converting it lets you change its style or label.

Test a draft before publishing

Follow the sequence of draft, private preview and publication. Add or correct your elements, open the preview to test them and review the summary before confirming Publish changes. Visitors keep seeing the last published version while you work. Automatically saving a draft therefore does not share your experiments.

Restore a publication and remap elements

In Versions, choose the publication whose interactive elements you want to restore. Restoring creates a new publication and keeps the previous steps. If you also replace the PDF file, use remapping to check each element’s page: an old area may otherwise sit over different content.

Text summary of the video
  1. Foliade reads your PDF and suggests elements: web links, email addresses, phone numbers and YouTube addresses found in the text.
  2. Review them by type, add them one by one, or convert everything in a click. Ignored suggestions stay out of the way.
  3. Linked text is another way to create a zone: select words on the page, and the zone follows the text, even across several lines.
  4. Elements are listed page by page. Filter by type to find one quickly, and test the draft in a private preview before you publish it.
  5. Publish changes shows exactly what is added, modified or removed. Every publication is kept in the Versions tab, where an earlier one can be restored.
  6. When you replace the PDF, a remapping assistant follows each element to its new page, or lets you decide what to do with it.

Key points

  • Zones detected automatically in the PDF stay active even if you do not convert them; converting them lets you style them.
  • Restoring a publication creates a new publication: the history is never rewritten.

Frequently asked questions

Is the draft visible to readers?

No. Only the latest publication is served; the draft is only visible in the workspace's private preview.

Does restoring a version erase the history?

Restoring creates a new publication from the selected state; it does not rewrite the earlier steps in the history.
