Creating Your First Fanflet
Start a draft from the dashboard, describe the talk, add resources, set access and expiration, and publish. Includes the seven editor tabs and where Fannie fits.
A fanflet is the page attendees land on when they scan your QR code. This guide takes you from an empty dashboard to a published fanflet page in one sitting: start a draft, describe the talk, add resources, set access, and publish.
Start a fanflet
The dashboard’s Create a new Fanflet panel offers four ways in. Each ends with a draft in the editor, and drafts are never public.
- On My Own. Creates a blank draft called “Untitled Fanflet” and opens the editor. This is the path for your first fanflet.
- With Fannie. Opens the Quick Create modal, where Fannie drafts a fanflet from your resource library and past talks. She unlocks after you have published your first fanflet, and is included on Pro, Studio, and Early Access. See Quick Create with Fannie.
- Import links. Opens the import page. Bring links over from Linktree, lnk.bio, liinks.co, or Talkadot, or paste a list of links and Fanflet turns each one into a block.
- Clone a recent talk. Copies the blocks, sections, and theme of an earlier fanflet into a new draft. The same action is in each row’s menu on My Fanflets.
Describe the talk
The editor opens on the Talk tab. Everything here saves as you type; the header reads All changes saved when it is stored.
About this talk
- Title. The name attendees see at the top of the fanflet page (for example, “Spring Conference 2026 Resources”).
- Description (optional). What someone takes away from the session.
Where & when
- Event name or purpose. The conference, talk, or context for this fanflet.
- Date, plus an End date when you click Multi-day event.
- Venue or city (optional).
- Session start time, with the timezone shown next to it. Set the exact time; the timezone defaults to your own and you can change it for a talk in another city.
Venue or city, start time, and timezone are public. They appear in this talk’s card on your public profile, not on the fanflet page itself.
Public URL ending
The last part of your fanflet URL. Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. This is one of two fields that do not autosave: type the ending, then click Update URL.
Add resources
On the Resources tab, use the add form under your block list. Pick a type, fill in the fields, choose a section, and click Add Block.
- Link. Point to any URL. Slides on Google Drive, a YouTube video, a blog post. Add a title, optional description, and optional thumbnail.
- File Upload. Upload a PDF, image, or document directly to Fanflet. The file lands in your Resource Library so you reuse it across fanflets.
- Text. A text block for context, instructions, or commentary between resources.
- Sponsor. A branded banner block for connected sponsors. Includes logo, CTA text, and URL.
Already have items in your library? Use the Add from Library panel to pull them in, as a Dynamic Link that stays in sync with the library or a Static Copy that lives only on this fanflet. Blocks with the same Section Name render under one heading; drag any block by its handle to reorder. See The block editor for the deeper reference.
Set access and expiration
The Access tab holds who can open the page and for how long.
- Contact gate. Off, Soft Gate (ask for name and email, Skip allowed), or Hard Gate (required). Pro and Studio. See Contact gate.
- Access Code (optional). Type a code and click Apply code. QR scans bypass it; typed URLs ask for it.
- Content Expiration. Presets count from your first publish. Free fanflets expire 30 days after publishing. Pro chooses 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days. Studio and Early Access add Doesn't expire.
- Show expiration notice. A checkbox that adds an “available until” line to the fanflet page.
Details in Access codes and expiration. Email collection feeds your subscriber list.
List it on your public profile
The Public profile tab controls how this one talk appears on your public profile. Visibility lists the talk; Public summary is the blurb under it; Registration takes a link and a button label. A published, visible talk dated today or later (the end date for multi-day talks) appears under Upcoming Events; after that it moves to Past Talks. Drafts never appear.
Ask Fannie for an audit
On Pro, Studio, and Early Access, Fannie sits in the editor as your AI coach. She does not review the fanflet on her own; tap Audit this fanflet in her panel and she checks for a generic URL ending, resource titles that are still file names, sponsor blocks without images, missing event details, a missing description, or an empty resource list, then proposes fixes you apply in one click. Read more in Fannie, your AI coach.
Preview, publish, share
Preview
Click Preview in the header. The editor saves first, then shows your current draft as it will look once published. Drafts are only visible to you. Preview visits are not counted in analytics.
Publish
Click the green Publish button in the editor header. The fanflet page goes live at your public URL, and the status pill flips to Live. Publishing sends no email to anyone. Later edits stay private until you click Publish changes; see Publishing and the published snapshot.
Get the QR code
Open QR code & slides from the header’s ⋯ menu. Copy or share the code image, copy the permanent URL, or download title slides with the code on them. See QR codes and public URLs.
Nothing to save by hand, nothing to flip
Tips for a strong fanflet
- Keep it focused. Free caps at 3 resources per fanflet. Pro and Studio go higher, but a short curated list still beats a dump of links.
- Use descriptive titles. “Slides: Implant Workflow Protocol” reads better than “Slides.pdf.”
- Order by intent. Put the resources attendees want most at the top.
- Reuse from the library. Edit once, propagate everywhere a dynamic link points.
