Flip Books - Using Embed Codes

Flipbooks have been updated (July 2026)

We have upgraded Flipbooks to a new, more stable version. The updated tool gives you greater control over how your flipbooks look, with new styling and display options.

The new version supports PDF files only. We have moved all existing PDF flipbooks across automatically, but files uploaded in other formats could not be migrated.

If you notice that one of your flipbooks is no longer working:

Convert the original file to PDF.
Upload the PDF as a new flipbook.
Replace the existing embed code on your website.

You can convert Word documents, PowerPoint files, images and many other file types to PDF free using PDF24’s online PDF converter. No registration is required. Please do not upload files containing confidential or personal information to any third-party conversion service.

Can’t find the original file? Contact the Schudio support team. We have kept a copy of every previous Flipbook file and can help you retrieve it. These files will be securely deleted six months after the upgrade.

To add a new document go to Embed codes on the left hand side of the page. Select the submenu item "Flip Books"

Then click the green "+ Create Book" button.

A new page to add the details of your new flip book document will appear,

Embed Codes: See Where Your Content Is Being Used

We've introduced a helpful new enhancement to the CMS that makes managing embed codes much easier.

When viewing any embed code within your website editor, you can now see exactly where that embed code is being used across your website.

How to View Where an Embed Code Is Being Used

Navigate to Embed Codes within your CMS.
Select the embed code you would like to review. This works for all embed code types, from Document Groups through to People Groups.
Click on the blue hyperlinked title of the embed code.
Once the viewer opens, scroll to the bottom of the page.
You will now see a list of all website pages where that embed code is currently displayed.

Why Is This Useful?

This new feature makes it much easier to manage and update content across your website. Instead of searching through pages manually or creating multiple versions of the same embed code, you can quickly identify where a particular embed code is being used and make updates with confidence.

Whether you're updating documents, forms, people groups, or other embedded content, you'll always know exactly where your changes will appear.
