Edition settings

In the edition settings, you can customize the font (for body text and headings H1-H6), adjust font sizes, upload your own logo, and choose different colors for the menu bar and overlay menu.

Each edition has its own edition settings.
In Magzmaker, the house style settings—such as colors, fonts, logos, and menu options—are defined in the magazine settings. These settings serve as the default when you create a new edition (but not when copying an edition). After creating an edition, these defaults become the edition settings.

You can modify these edition settings for the specific edition, including using different fonts or colors for the menu. These changes will not affect other editions or the main magazine settings.

Elements of the Edition Settings

Menu and logos

Expand this section to adjust logos and colors

Menubar

• Logo/Image: You can set the logo or image that appears at the bottom right of the menu bar. Use a square-format image (PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG). Leave this empty if you prefer not to display a logo in the menu bar.
• Colors and transparency of the menu bar
  • Menu Background Color: Choose the color of the bar at the bottom of the menu.
  • Menu Icon Color: Set the color of the icons on the menu bar
  • Menu Icon Hover Color: Define the color of the icons when hovered over or clicked.
  • Menu Transparency: Adjust the transparency level. Set it to 1 for full color or lower it (e.g., 0.8) for a semi-transparent effect, allowing the page content to be visible through the menu when scrolling.

Menu Overlay
The menu overlay opens when you click on  (hamburger menu icon) at the bottom left of the menu bar. You can add a logo to appear at the top of the menu overlay. The colors for the menu overlay are configured similarly to the menu bar, including the background color, text color, and text hover color.

Options shown in Menu Bar and Menu Overlay
The hamburger icon   is always displayed in the menu bar to open the menu overlay.

Display page numbers
In the menu overlay, the pages are displayed with the page number in front. You can choose not to display this number in the menu overlay by checking in the Edition settings under Menu and Logos under MENU OVERLAY to hide the numbers.

Fonts and text styles

To access and adjust fonts and text styles:

1. Open the Edition settings via the purple bar at the top of your page or from the edition overview.
2. Expand the Fonts and Text Styles section.

Here, you can adjust the settings for text and headings specific to the edition you are working on. Changes made here will not impact other editions.

Note: If you want to adjust fonts and text styles for all future editions, make these changes in the Magazine settings. All new editions will then use the updated magazine settings as their default.

Font settings
The default font settings are typically sufficient. However, some fonts may appear too large or too small. In such cases, you can adjust the font size accordingly.

• Font Family: This is the name of the font. For custom house style fonts, this is usually set during the initial setup. Users with a Professional subscription can enable or upload a different font. For more information about fonts, refer to the relevant section. Users with a Publisher subscription can request font adjustments, such as changes to align with corporate identity.

• Font Size: Font size can be set using various units:

  • Pixels (px): A fixed unit.
  • Percentage (%), em, vw: Scalable units that adapt better when text is resized on the screen.

• Responsive Font Size: Set as a percentage of the original font size.

• Line Height: Adjusted as a percentage of the font height.

• Font Weight: Adjusts the thickness of the font, depending on the capabilities of the selected font.

• Color: You can set the color for body text and headings here. This color can be overridden in the text editor using a different text style.

SEO

In the edition settings, you have the option to control whether your edition should be indexed by search engines. Indexing involves registering the pages with search engine databases to ensure they appear in search results.

• Default Setting: The indexing option is enabled by default. This is because, typically, you would want the pages of your edition to be discoverable through search engines. All published pages within the edition will be indexed when this option is selected.

• Opting Out of Indexing: There may be instances where you do not want your edition's pages to appear in search engine results. For example, if the content is intended exclusively for your employees. In such cases, you can uncheck the indexing option to prevent indexing.

• Accessibility of Non-Indexed Pages: It's important to note that unchecking the indexing option does not restrict access to the pages. If someone knows the URL, they can still access the page directly. This setting simply removes the pages from search engine visibility.
