New Album release FAQ

Submitted Feb 09 by Rien




Important changes, what you need to know!


New Album editor
You can now edit the style of your Albums visually. Open you Album and choose the new 'Style album' tab at the top.

Album in Page editing
The styling of the Albums in your website pages is now independent from the styling of your individual full browser Albums. So each Album inside a Page has it’s own style settings; which you can edit in your Page.

Albums that open from Collections

Albums that are part of a Collection page, and that are opened IN your site (not full screen) can be edited with the 'Style album' button below the thumbnails in your Collection Page.

Albums that open full screen from your Collection Page, can be edited on the Album level.


Something changed, how can I bring it back?

We did our best to make the transition as smooth as possible by making sure your Albums look the same. Unfortunately for Albums inside your Pages there can be some small changes. Here's a list of changes we've received the past few days and how you can recover them.

Text display
The new Album displays text differently. Classic mode displays the text in your Album, the 'old' way. Including some other settings. You can find the classic mode under the Text heading, in the 'version' selectbox. You can choose 'New' and 'Classic' there.

Numbers (Album in Page only)
You can enable the numbers between the navigation arrows under the 'Advanced' tab of the styling panel.

Navigation / image alignment
You can now align your images to the left, center or right. This also moves the navigation arrows to the same position.
