Plug it in (to your CMS, Subs engine, App store, analytics)

Submit it (to Apple, Kindle, Google)

Once you're up and running, the editorial process couldn't be simpler:

Create a new edition and give it a front cover

Create articles by selecting a layout and entering your content (or dragging it from your CMS if it's already there)

Create one-off pages as you need - you don't always have to use a layout

Build up your flatplan - placing articles where you want in your edition

Add interactive advertising packages and place them in your edition

Preview using our web preview or directly on your devices

When you're ready hit publish and you're done!

And you can add to and update your layouts and app as often as you like

Create new layouts and pop them into your CMS whenever you need them - No need to update your app and all you need are HTML and design skills

If you want to customise the app - no problem, make your changes and resubmit your app to Apple/Google etc
