Creating a Flat Plan

Planning your next issue just got easier! The MediaOS Flat Plan gives you a visual layout of every page in your publication—making it simple to organize ads, editorial content, and page order all in one place. Whether you're building from scratch or copying a previous layout, the Flat Plan helps you stay on track and in control.

Step 1: Open the Flat Plan Tool #

To get started, head to the Flat Plan section from your dashboard.

  1. Select Delivery from the main navigation menu.
  2. Click on the Flat Plan tab at the top of the screen.
  3. Choose the product you'd like to work on.
  4. Use the dropdown to select the specific issue you’re planning.

Step 2: Build or Copy a Flat Plan #

Depending on your workflow, you can either start fresh or duplicate a layout from a previous issue.

  • If this is your first time building the flat plan for this issue, you’ll be prompted to enter the number of pages you want to create.
  • If you’ve built flat plans before, you can copy a layout from a past issue to speed things up.

Once the base is set, you can begin placing ads and content throughout the issue.
