Flipbook Reports
One report per flipbook: how often it is opened, what is inside the file, how it is set up and what to change next. Every number comes from the document itself, with no tracking script and nothing to set up.

Questions about flipbook reports
What is a flipbook report?
One page about one flipbook. It shows the cover and the details you wrote, how many times readers opened it and when the last one arrived, how it compares with the rest of your library, what is inside the PDF itself, every setting that changes what a reader gets, the details anyone left in your lead form, and a short list of things worth changing. The analytics dashboard looks across your whole library; a report looks at one document in depth.
How do I open the report for one flipbook?
Go to Reports in the menu and pick a flipbook from the grid, which lists every document in your library with its cover and its opens. Each card has a View Report button. Your library at /documents also carries a report button on every card, and the most read ranking on the analytics dashboard links straight into the report of each flipbook it names.
What counts as an open on a report?
One reader opening this flipbook, counted once per browser session. Opening your own flipbook while signed in never counts, so your own testing does not inflate the number. A reader who comes back tomorrow counts again, and someone who clears their browser storage or uses a private window counts again too. It is a running total for the life of the flipbook, not a count of people.
Which parts of a report are free, and which need a plan?
At a glance and Reach and activity are free on every plan, including free accounts. Content and structure and the settings audit come with Starter. Leads and conversion and the recommendations come with Plus, and Ultra includes everything Plus does. Sections your plan does not include still appear, drawn with example figures under a blur, so you can see exactly what a plan adds before paying for it.
Where do the page count, word count and reading time come from?
From the PDF itself, read in your browser. Nothing about the contents of a file is stored when you upload it, so the report opens the document and asks it: how many pages it has, how big those pages are, what metadata it carries, whether it has its own bookmarks, and whether its text can be selected. The word count walks the pages and counts words, then divides by 200 words a minute for the reading estimate. Very long documents are read up to a limit and the page says how much it covered.
What does the settings audit check?
Every setting that changes what a reader gets, grouped four ways. Discoverability covers the description, the social title and image and the shared by credit. Reader experience covers the table of contents, search, clickable areas, thumbnails, bookmarks, and the download and share buttons. Branding covers your logo, the background, the page effect, the control style and the flip sound. Protection covers the password, embed domains, the lead form and background music. Each row shows what is saved right now and links to the viewer panel that changes it.
Does the report show who my readers are or which pages they read?
No. There is no visitor identity, no location, no device breakdown and no referrer, and there is no page by page reading, no time on page and no completion rate, because nothing in the reader measures them. Readers never need an account to open a flipbook. The only thing a reader tells you by choice is what they type into a lead form, and that is the one place their details appear.
Why is the file size missing or out of date?
The size is measured once, when the PDF is uploaded, so flipbooks made before that was recorded show no size at all. Replacing the PDF of a published flipbook swaps the file but leaves that recorded number alone, so the report says the size was measured at upload and flags it when the file has been replaced. The content section measures the file it downloads, which is always the one live right now.
What is in the leads section of a report?
Every submission from the lead form on this one flipbook. You get the total, a day by day chart of when they arrived over the last 30 or 90 days, a conversion figure that divides submissions by opens, a table of the latest submissions with a column per field you asked for, and a button that exports them to a CSV file you can open in a spreadsheet. The form setup card beside it shows the page it appears on, whether readers may skip it, and the fields it asks for. The lead form is a Plus feature, so this section is too.
How are the recommendations for one flipbook decided?
By rules over facts this flipbook already carries. A document live for over a week with no opens, a well read flipbook whose form collects nothing, a start page or a form page that sits past the last page of the PDF, a password on something nobody has opened, an embed code with no domain restriction, search switched off on a document full of text, a missing preview image. Every recommendation names what triggered it and links to the setting that fixes it, so you can check the reasoning rather than trust it.
