Creating and Sharing Articles

Issuu provides a great feature of creating shareable Articles directly from your content that gives your audience a focused and quick look at what’s inside your Publication. By selecting and sharing individual articles, you can update your social media calendar with fresh content and highlight exclusive features or articles that will grab the attention of readers.

Articles can give readers a better sense of what’s inside your content — beyond just the cover.
