What your client sees, what they can do, and how selections come back to you.
Album access → Shared
What just happened: Anyone with the link (and code, if set) sees only your published photos. Your dashboard stays private.
The shared gallery
What just happened: Submitting notifies you and locks their picks — you can re-open it for them. Their downloads carry your signature if you've set one; your stored originals stay clean.
Album → click a photo → Details
What just happened: Rotation follows the photo everywhere, including the Web and Large downloads a client takes. Downloading the Original still gives the file exactly as it came off the camera, unrotated — that is deliberate.
Worth knowing: Cameras usually get orientation right on their own; this is for the ones that do not, and for scans.
Album → Preview ↗
What just happened: The design is identical on all three. The only thing missing outside a shared link is ✓ select and ♥ favourite — those need a share link to belong to, so they cannot exist on a public or private album. Your preview does not count as a view.
Every control on these screens, and what it does.
What a visitor holding your share link can actually do, and what comes back to you.
Two separate lists exist on purpose. Couples disagree, and “we both love it” is different information from “put this one in the album”.
| ♥ favourite | Their soft “I like this”. |
| ✓ selected | Their actual pick — the list you will work from. |
| The counter bar | Running Selected and Favourites counts. Clicking it reviews just those. |
| Submit selection | Ends their pass. Confirmed in an in-page dialog, not a browser popup. |
| ↓ | Download, if you allowed it — then Original, Large, or Web. |
Worth knowing: Submitting notifies you and locks their picks so they cannot drift afterwards. You can re-open it for them if they ask. Their downloads carry your signature when the album is set that way; your stored originals never do.
Tell us the screen you're on and what you expected to happen — that's usually enough for us to spot it straight away.
