Operational questions.

Do I need a circle to grant access to a book?

No. Individual access can be managed directly. Circles organize reading when the publisher wants to work with groups.

Can I create different groups?

Each circle is linked to one publication and has its own participants.

Can the publishing house revoke access?

Access status includes revocations and can be monitored by the team.

What data appears in the reports?

The platform brings together readers, devices, opens, sessions, issuances, and other circulation metrics.
