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 CaseDescription
LMS integrationEmbed course materials directly in a learning platform
Marketing previewsShow a content preview on a landing page
Library catalogsSurface digital products inside catalog search results
Corporate trainingDeliver required reading inside HR or onboarding systems
Partner dashboardsDisplay 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=true appended
  • Optional: an auth token for protected content
  • Optional: an exit URL to redirect users when they leave the reader
