Common Questions

Does the gallery order affect my photobook?

• Yes, when auto-placing photos in a project, they follow the gallery order. You can always rearrange them in the editor.

Can I organize photos across multiple galleries?

• Each gallery is independent. Use separate galleries for different events or projects.
