Preview first
Preview the direction before the printed keepsake.
Tippytale is designed so families can understand the story direction before ordering print. What you see first depends on whether you start from a template or create from scratch.
Templates can show real sample pages before you personalize. Create-from-scratch books show character and cover direction first, then the full digital book after checkout.
Quick answer
Yes, you can preview, but the preview depends on the path.
Template pages show real sample covers and spreads before personalization. Create-from-scratch books show the child character and front-cover direction first, then the full digital book after checkout.
Template previews show the book's existing shape.
A template page can show the cover, sample spreads, story roles, themes, age range, and page count before you personalize it.
Create-from-scratch previews show the direction, not the full book.
When creating from scratch, the book does not exist yet. The useful preview is the child character and cover direction. The full editable digital book appears after checkout.
What each preview stage lets you review.
The safest promise is specific: families can inspect different things at different moments, then review the finished digital book before ordering print.
FAQ
Questions parents usually ask.
Can I see the full book before payment?+
Template pages show sample artwork before personalization. Create-from-scratch books show character and cover direction before payment, not the full generated book.
Can I preview before printing?+
Yes. The digital book is reviewed before ordering a printed copy, and checkout shows the available print options.
Why are template and create-from-scratch previews different?+
Templates already have sample pages. Create-from-scratch books are generated from the family's inputs, so the full book is not available until after checkout.
