Everything you need to read the paper online — how to set up your login the first time, and what each control in the reader does.

1 Setting up your login (first time only)

  1. Find the email from us with the subject line beginning “Claim your… e-Edition account.” It comes from noreply@eeditions.co.
  2. Click Claim My Account.
  3. Choose a password. That is the only thing you need to pick — we already know who you are.
  4. You’re in. From then on you sign in at windom.eeditions.co/portal/subscriber-login with your email and that password.
Can’t find the email? Check your spam or junk folder for noreply@eeditions.co, and mark it “not spam” so future issues reach you. If it still isn’t there, or the link says it has expired, call the office at (507) 831-3455 and we’ll send a fresh one while you’re on the phone.

Do I need a separate login for each paper?

No. One login covers everything you subscribe to. If you take both the Cottonwood County Citizen and the Mt. Lake‑Butterfield Observer‑Advocate, both appear in the same reader — use the publication filter at the top of the Archives/Other Publications panel to switch between them.

If you receive two claim emails, you only need to use one. Setting your password once unlocks both papers.

Forgot your password later?

Use Forgot password on the login page. You’ll get a reset link by email — that one is good for 24 hours.

The bar across the top of the screen holds every control. Here is what each one does.
