Possible to jump to or share specific page in InDesign Publish Online

I've published my publication using InDesign Publish Online, but am wondering if it is possible to jump to a specific page or share a direct link to a specific page within the document so I can share client article with them directly instead of having them scroll/toggle through the entire magazine. Any way to do this? Or workarounds?

Yes, thank you. I did that several weeks ago.

Found this on another help page & it worked for me.

You can direct link to a specific page in a Publish Online document by adding ?startpage=5 to the end of your document URL (this example would go to page 5.)

    One note pertaining the startpage number for URL. If the Publish Online document is set to display spreads, then the startpage destination is the spread number, not the page number.

    Position StartPage
    1 1
    2-3 2
    4-5 3
    6-7 4

      Thanks but that does not solve our problem. We just need Adobe to create the option to have direct page URLs.

      I want to say the URL may change numbers at the end based on the page, have you checked the url?

      if not, export just that page, and link to that?

      Hey JonathanArias -

      Unfortunately, the changing the url doesn't do anything and if you notice as you toggle from page to page in PublishOnline, the URL doesn't change with the page. And we don't want extract pages from the publication and share, we want the whole publication to be connected to so people can browse, but to direct link to the article we are publishing. Make sense? Thanks for the recommendation though.

      How about you duplicate that page as pop up that first appears on to of the publication , person reads it, they can close that pop up, now they are in the publication cover,
