documents that enhance
coverage of important news
events. Without the Scribd
reader, the information is
hidden behind a veil of html

rrarely click through to
read.”
--Editor, Albuquerque Journal

 FAQs
How do I embed my document?
Click on the “share and embed” link or the Facebook/Twitter icons on each Scribd

embed code for your website or blog. For more detailed information, go here.

How do I edit my document?

Log into your Scribd account, select “Manage My Documents” from the home page
or “My Docs” from the top right menu bar. Once inside “Manage My Documents,” locate the

How do I publish a revision of my document?

To publish a new version of a document without losing existing read counts,
comments, or ratings, select “Upload a revised version of this document” under the “Advanced
Edit” menu. (To find the “Advanced Edit” menu, see “How to Edit Your Document” above.)
