Steps to rename an issue
If you use an issue naming convention such as the seasons or numbers rather than the months of the year, you may wish to change the issue description that appears in MagManager.
Renaming a single issue
Step 1 - Go to the main Settings page.
Step 2 - Under Publications & Bookings > Select Publications.
Step 3 - Click on the publication name.
Step 4 - From the issues tab > Select the issue you want to rename by clicking on the edit (pen) icon to the right.
Step 5 - In the Description column enter the name of the issue as you would like it to appear.
Step 6 - Click in the same place, which now shows as a save (disk) icon, to save the changes.
Step 7 - Issues Updated will flash across the top of the screen.
In the example below, the March 2027 issue has been renamed as Spring 2027.
Renaming multiple issues in bulk
Step 1 - Click Publications on the top navigation bar.
Step 2 - Select the Publication Names from the Sidebar.
Step 3 - Click New Issue.
Step 4 - Click the Edit icon next to the month name in the header > A pop up will appear with the message ‘Rename all issues for month year’.
Step 5 - Enter the name in the text box eg Summer 2026.
Step 6 - Click Ok to Save.
Step 7 - Click Yes to confirm.
Step 8 - Issues renamed will flash across the top of the screen.
You can check the name has updated by going to Settings > Under Publications & Bookings > Select Publications > Select the Publication name > Select the Issues tab > Locate the Month that was changed and you will see the new name in the description column.
How changing an issue name affects the sidebar display
The sidebar displays one issue name for each month and, when selected all issues created in that month appear in the centre of the screen.
NOTE: If you have multiple publications and issues with different naming conventions, be aware that the issue name displayed in the sidebar of the homepage, publications and booking screen etc will be the first alphabetically.
Example:
Publication 1 - Named as Seasons - Spring (March), Summer (June), Autumn (September) & Winter (December).
Publication 2 - Named Monthly - January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.
Screenshot showing Autumn 2026 listed in the sidebar rather than September. (As the A for Autumn comes before the S of September). However, both issues appear in the centre of the screen Autumn Leaves Sep/Oct 2026 and Indigo Autumn 2026.
