Important Notice: The Web Export feature was built to provide users with a new channel of content distribution. It is also the result of the valuable feedback and requests from our users for a web browser-based platform that can display your Mag+ content and be distributed to a desktop/laptop computer. The Web Export feature is NOT supported on mobile device web browsers as it is not mobile optimized. For the best mobile content user experience, a native iOS or Android mobile app should be built separately.NOTE: Web Export builds cannot currently be generated from iPad Pro MIBsThe Web Export feature gives you a way to distribute the content you've created with the Mag+ tools in a standard web browser. It allows you to convert any uploaded MIB file to HTML, directly from your Publish portal. Once the conversion is complete, you can download a package of HTML and assets that you can host on your own web server or site. You can also modify the exported HTML or CSS as you like.
The Web Export feature is available to all Pro license customers. If you have a different license and would like access to the feature, please reach out to your Mag+ representative.
You can convert any device-type MIB to HTML, but note that the output does not scale in the browser. It will render at the same size and shape as it does on the intended device. The output is not responsive.
How to Convert your MIB to HTML in the Publish portal
1. Log-in to the Mag+ Publish portal.
2. Click on the Issues tab.
3. Click on the issue "Title" link.
4. Click "Convert to HTML" button next to the MIB file you wish to convert.
Note: You do not need to have your issue published to use the Web Export but you must have your MIB file uploaded to your issue. Refer to our support article on "Managing Issues" for these steps.
5. Retrieve HTML and assets via e-mail.
After clicking the "Convert to HTML" button, the content conversion will begin. This can take several minutes to complete, depending on the size of the MIB. Once it is finished, you will receive an email at the address tied to your Mag+ login with a download link for a compressed .zip file containing the HTML and assets for your content.
Note: Mag+ does not host your content, you must host it on a third-party or in-house web server just like a web site.
