You’ve got a few easy options:
- Activate Mobile Upload
- Go to Sell tab > Set up Link or Track Yearbook Sales.
- In the lower left,click on Mobile check Allow users to upload.
- Create a category for Candid Upload so submissions stay organized.
OR…
- Share an Email Upload Link
- After you create a category a link will generate that allows uploads via email, click the blue email address and copy the link.
- Share it with parents and teachers so they can directly send in their photos.
✨ Tip: Be clear about the type of photos you’re looking for (school events, sports, spirit days, etc.) to avoid random uploads.
