Questions and troubleshooting
Why can't I print or download yet?
Add at least one article to the current issue. PDF and EPUB actions stay unavailable while the magazine is empty.
Where did an article go?
Check your filters first, then open Hidden articles. If it is there, press Restore. Articles that have been hidden for more than 60 days are removed.
Why is my RSS feed not showing new articles?
Open Add reading and go to Your Feeds. Press Check for new articles to refresh every active feed. For one feed, open its actions menu: choose Resume if it is paused, or choose Check now to try it again. A feed error appears beside its name.
Can I mix Curate with my own choices?
Yes. Let Curate make a starting issue, then add, remove, reorder, or edit articles yourself. You can also add your own choices first and use Curate afterward.
I still need help.
