# Set up general settings for the collection

As a publisher, you can set and manage the default settings of your publication(s). Newly created publications will default to the given settings once they are created.

Here is how to set up default settings for the collection:

1. From the [My Publications](https://app.joomag.com/Backend/ControlPanel/MagazineWizard/Magazine/index.php) page open the collection you wish and click the **Default Settings** button from the **Actions** tab
   
   ![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/571512594/6b542ff9902bcf9f4f5e1721/Screen+Shot+2022-08-30+at+16.47.09.png)
2. Fill in the **Publication title** from the section **General**

3. You can enable the following checkboxes for your collection
   
     1. Allow readers to print out pages of publication using their printers
     2. Make publications available for download as a PDF file
     3. Automatically mark all newly created publications as adult content
     4. Enable the table of content for newly created publications

4. And finally, you can enable flipping effect for the entire collection and also apply the changes to already created and new publications

**Note**: To apply the changes to all existing publications of the collection make sure to click **Apply to all existing publications** link.

5.   Click **Save and close** when you are done.
