Three-step workflow
From source files to live URL

Brand the cover
Pick the cover color, the issue title, optionally a pattern overlay. The dock holds your subscribe, IG, and 'past issues' links.

FAQ
Questions about the digital magazine template
Do readers need an account?
No. Public issues are viewable by anyone with the URL. For paid-subscriber issues, use the unlisted setting and gate access via your existing membership tool.
Can I gate the magazine behind a paywall?
i3dify itself does not handle subscription billing. Use the unlisted setting + your existing Memberful/Substack/Patreon paywall. The URL is only shared with paid members.
Will Google index the magazine for SEO?
Yes if the issue is set to Public visibility. Each issue URL is indexable and the metadata includes the issue title.
