Missing frames problem

Hello,
I just posted my first comic here and although the uploading of the 36 pages was successful, I get the following message:
Your pages are missing frames
We strongly recommend that you create frames for all the missing 36 pages as this greatly improves mobile readability.

I saw other user got the same problem, but he figured out what that means so you didn't need to explain it to him. However I didn't figure it out, so I need a hand here. :)
I know it's kinda dumb, but this is it.

What does it mean when it says your pages are missing frames?

Missing frames mean that interactive reading mode has not been set up for a traditional layout comic and are the frames that lets the user read on a panel-by-panel basis.

Heres an example (make interactive reading on, if it's disabled): https://globalcomix.com/c/katrina-hates-the-dead/chapters/en/1/5/2

You can set this up by hitting "Edit" on any of your releases pages and going through and adding the frames for each panel :)

Ok it's nice to know how it functions but I still have no idea how to actually add frames. I don't see an option to do so anywhere.

Oh I see - I looked at your comic, it appears to be set as a vertical-scroll layout.

Page frames are not supported on vertical scroll layout comics, so I've fixed the display being incorrectly showing for you. If you want to enable interactive reading, change your comic page layout to traditional in your comic's advanced settings, then there should be an edit option for each page!

Sorry about that display bug.

I had the same problem when I uploaded the PDF

@AJHodes92 - this is for setting up the immersive reader experience (panel-to-panel). While it is optional to complete this, it does greatly improve mobile reading experience.

To set it up, click "edit" on the first page and add panels / frame outlines to your pages. Note: you can have odd shape panels by clicking the lines to add more points to drag around.
