Embed the Reader in Partner Platforms
Our reader supports an embedded mode that lets partners and tenants display Publica.la content inside their own platforms through an iframe. Readers stay inside the partner experience without navigating to a separate reader URL.
Use this feature when a tenant wants to offer reading inside a learning management system, a corporate training portal, a library catalog, or any custom dashboard.
Business Value
Embedded mode reduces friction for end users who would otherwise leave a familiar platform to read. Tenants report higher engagement when content is available without a redirect.
Key use cases:
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| LMS integration | Embed course materials directly in a learning platform |
| Marketing previews | Show a content preview on a landing page |
| Library catalogs | Surface digital products inside catalog search results |
| Corporate training | Deliver required reading inside HR or onboarding systems |
| Partner dashboards | Display content within a partner's administrative interface |
How It Works
A tenant (or their developer) adds a single query parameter to a reader URL to activate embedded mode. The reader then hides navigation controls that would pull the user away from the host platform and adapts its interface to fit within an iframe container.
No feature flag, plan upgrade, or support request is needed. Embedded mode is available on all stores by default.
The main configuration points the developer needs are:
- The reader URL with
?embedded=trueappended - Optional: an auth token for protected content
- Optional: an exit URL to redirect users when they leave the reader
For the full technical integration guide, including iframe code, security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options), and token authentication, share the Embed the Reader in Your Application guide (slug: reader-embedding) from the public developer docs with the developer responsible for the integration.
