Project & page settings

Project settings apply to a whole project, such as its title, language, security and SEO. Page settings apply to one page in a project, such as its page title, SEO and thumbnail. Both open as a side panel in the Maglr dashboard, with tabs on the left and a Save button at the bottom.


Opening project settings


Project settings open from the page overview, the overview of all pages in a project. To open and change them:


  1. Open the project to go to its page overview.
  2. In the left sidebar, below the project thumbnail, click Project settings.
  3. Select a tab on the left of the panel and change the settings.
  4. Click Save.

You can also open project settings from the Projects overview: open the project's menu and click Settings.


If you changed the Active switch on the Basic information tab, the save button reads Save + Publish or Save + set inactive. Clicking it saves your changes and also publishes the project or takes it offline.


Project settings tabs


The Project settings panel has these tabs. Some tabs only appear for certain project types or account features.


  • Basic information: the project's title, date, language, color style, category and URL, and the Active switch that publishes the project or sets it inactive.
  • Navigation: hide the complete navigation for this project only, for example when you build your own navigation inside the pages.
  • Security: protect the project, for example with a password.
  • Content gate: put a lead capture form in front of the project. Only shown if your account has the content gate feature, and not for templates.
  • SEO: the meta title and meta description for the whole project. A page without its own meta title shows its page title followed by this meta title. A page without its own meta description uses this one.
  • Share with users: give colleagues access to this project.
  • Hashtags: add hashtags to categorize and filter the project. Only shown for vertical swipe projects.
  • Publication type: change the project to a different publication type. Not shown for print publications.
  • Template preset: turn the project into a template that other users can start from. Only shown to users who have the Create templates right.
  • PDF settings: settings for the PDF version of the project. Only shown for print publications.
  • Archive project: archive the project to clean up the overview. Not shown for templates.


Opening page settings


Page settings open from a page in the page overview, the overview of all pages in a project. The wrench icon on a page only appears while you hover over the page. To open and change page settings:

  2. Hover over the page you want to change.
  3. Click the wrench icon (tooltip "Page settings").

Page settings tabs


The Page settings panel has these tabs. Two tabs only appear for certain project types.


  • General: the page title, reference and date, the page's URL, the Linked to project setting, and whether the page is active. Linked to project moves the page to another project.
  • SEO: the meta title and meta description for this page only. They replace the project values for this page.
  • PDF settings: settings for this page in the PDF version. Only shown for print publications.
  • Page thumbnail: choose an alternative thumbnail for the page. It is shown in the navigation of your publication and when the page is shared on social media, instead of the automatic screenshot.
  • Hashtags: add hashtags to the page. Only shown for vertical swipe projects.

Frequently asked questions


Why can't I see the wrench icon on my page?


The wrench icon that opens page settings only appears while you hover over a page in the page overview. Without hovering, the page shows a three-dot icon instead. Move your mouse over the page, then click the wrench icon.


What is the difference between project SEO and page SEO?


The SEO tab in project settings sets the meta title and meta description for the whole project. The SEO tab in page settings sets them for one page only, and they replace the project values for that page. If a page has no meta values of its own:


  • Meta title: the page title, followed by the project's meta title. If the project has no meta title either, the page title is followed by the project title.
  • Meta description: the project's meta description. If the project has none either, the default description from the navigation environment is used.


Why does the save button in project settings say Save + Publish?


The save button in project settings reads Save + Publish when you switched the project to active on the Basic information tab. Clicking it saves your changes and publishes the project. If you switched the project to inactive, the button reads Save + set inactive, and clicking it takes the project offline.


Why don't I see some tabs in project settings?


Some project settings tabs depend on the project type or your account's features. For example, Hashtags only appears for vertical swipe projects, PDF settings only for print publications, and Content gate only if your account has the content gate feature.
