This saves the most time during setup. - **Show icons for hotspots added automatically:** Displays a visible icon over each auto-tagged link or product so buyers know it's clickable. ![Screenshot 2026-05-28 at 3.32.17 PM](https://knowledge.wizcommerce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%203.32.17%20PM.png?width=670&height=365&name=Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%203.32.17%20PM.png) 8.

My presentation is larger than 50 MB. How do I upload it?** A. Upload the presentation directly through **Publitas** instead of **WizCommerce**. Once the Catalog is created in *Publitas*, sync it back into WizCommerce from Catalog Management using the Sync Catalogs option. **2. Can I build a Catalog from scratch inside Publitas?** A. No. Catalogs are built from existing presentation PDFs. Design your presentation first, then upload it to add interactive hotspots. **3. The Catalog is showing as Public in Publitas but it's still not appearing in WizCommerce. What do I do?** Setting visibility to **Public** in Publitas makes the Catalog eligible for syncing, but it does not pull it into WizCommerce automatically. Go to **CatalogManagement** in WizCommerce and run **Sync Catalogs** from the **three-dot menu** to pull the Catalog in. **4. Why is the Publish now box unchecked by default during upload?** When uploading a presentation through Publitas, **Publish now** is unchecked so the Catalog stays offline and visible only to you. This is intentional, it gives you time to review the auto-tagged hotspots, edit pages, and add a Table of Contents before the Catalog goes live. Once you are ready, change the visibility setting to **Public** from the Publitas dashboard. --- **Still need help?** Reach out to our support team at [help@wizcommerce.com](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?fs=1&to=help@wizcommerce.com&tf=cm). -
