Choosing publication type

When you create a new project in Maglr, you choose its publication type. The publication type sets how readers move through the project, for example page by page horizontally or through stacked subpages. Which publication types you can choose depends on your subscription. If a type you need isn't shown, contact Maglr.

Choosing a publication type for a new project

  2. Enter a name for the project in the Project name field.
  3. Click the card of the publication type you want, such as Slide publication, Stack publication or Micro content. Slide publication is selected by default.
  4. Click Start new project.
  5. On the "Start new or choose a prefilled example" screen, select Start a new project and click Empty project or an example, or select Start from a copy and click the project you want to copy.
  6. On the "Select the pages" screen, choose the pages to start with and click Create project.


To switch a project between a slide publication and a stack publication, see Switch publication type.


Slide publication


A slide publication is a multi-page publication that readers move through horizontally, page by page, using a navigation interface. Slide publications suit digital magazines, annual reports, presentations and product brochures.

Stack publication


A stack publication is one main page, a long read, with in-depth subpages that open stacked on top of it. Stack publications suit interactive campaigns, presentations and brochures.


Whether you can choose a stack publication depends on your subscription. If you don't see it when you create a new project, contact Maglr.

Micro content


Micro content is a single visual page without a navigation interface. You can publish micro content to its own URL or embed it in a website or blog. Micro content suits separate landing pages, campaign pages, infographics and branded editorial stories.


Whether you can choose micro content depends on your subscription. If you don't see it when you create a new project, contact Maglr.
