Making changes to a single Flipbook is easy enough, but updating branding or region settings across many can be tedious and error-prone. With iPaper’s inherited settings, you can apply changes to multiple flipbooks at once, saving time and ensuring consistency.

In iPaper, flipbooks and folders are organized hierarchically, allowing a folder to contain multiple Flipbooks and subfolders. Everything within a folder acts as a group, and any settings applied to a group automatically inherit to its contents, including subfolders and Flipbooks.

This process is known as inheritance. Inherited settings can streamline the management and consistency of elements across your Flipbooks and folders.

Here's a visual example of how inherited settings work across folders and Flipbooks, in iPaper:

To show you where inherited settings are possible, we have added a folder tree icon beside each inheritable setting:

This symbol means that this setting will be applied to all subfolders and Flipbooks contained within the folder.

In the example above, a preloader image applied to a folder would result in the preloader image being applied to all the Flipbooks housed within that folder.

Inherited settings help when you work across your Flipbooks, and folders more effectively. This means you only have to take the time to set up folders with their preferred settings and, whenever you create a new Flipbook, or move one across folders, it automagically receives the correct settings. 🧙‍♂️
