There are multiple ways that you, your staff, and your community can upload photos to your project. It is important to check the file type you are uploading, to make sure it is supported by our software. The following image file types are supported by EDONext: .jpg, .jpeg, .png and .heic. (Please note that attempting to upload content that is not supported will result in corrupted files.) Follow these steps to successfully upload and manage your photos:

--– OR –--

Next, click on the green “Upload new photos” button

Then, from the photo uploader window, create a category by clicking the All Photo button and then click on “Create New Photo Category”

To start uploading your photos, you can drag and drop them into the photo upload window, or you can click the orange My Device to browse your computer for photos

You will then see the photos in a window and you will be able to click Upload in green. While your photos are uploading, you will see in the photo uploading window a list of the photos that are completed uploading, and the photos left to upload. If you have more than 100 photos to upload, please give this process a few minutes. If you have a poor internet connection, this process will take a bit longer.

Please note: The type of photo files we accept are .jpg, .jpeg, .png and .heic. PDFs need to be uploaded in Manage Uploads. 

Once the uploader confirms that all your images were uploaded you have to click “Done”, the photo category will load to display all the images that you just uploaded.

Upload Using EDO Page Designer  

If you are using EDO to design your pages, you will also have the option to upload photos directly from the page designer. (Note: You must be working on a page within the designer in order to access this function.)

Select the category you wish to upload photos into. You can also create a category by clicking the blue “category” button.

Click Browse to browse your computer for the photos you wish to upload, or drag and drop the photos you want to use into the uploader.

Managing Your Photos

You can organize your photos by category and search by the following filters:

• File Name
• Photo Caption
• Photo Tag
• Photo Status
• Liked Status
• Uploaded By
• Order By

Select one of your photo categories to view additional organization options:

• Select All – This option selects all the photos within a category.
• Move Selected Photos – Select one or more photos to move to a different category. Check the photos to be moved and click Move Photos. Select the category the photos will be moved to and click Move.
• Delete Photos – Choose the photos that you wish to discard and click Delete Photos.
• Edit Category – If you wish to rename one of your categories, select the category and click Edit Category. Once you are satisfied with your new category name, click Done.
• Delete Category – Select the category that you no longer wish to keep and click Delete Category. (WARNING: Deleting a photo category will permanently delete all its photos. There is no way to retrieve lost photos, so we recommend moving any photos you wish to keep prior to deleting any photo categories.)
• Rotate Photos – This function allows you to rotate your photos left or right. 

• Tag Photo – Add Photo Tags to your photos.
• Add Photo Captions – Administrators can allow users to view and/or change photo captions.

Email Photos

Each of your photo categories has a custom email address you can share with others. From here if you have photos on another device you can email them directly into the photo category. You can use these for yourself or send these out to parents and students so they can submit photos into the book project.

Each time you create a new photo category a new email is generated automatically. By clicking the blue Email Photos button you can see the emails for each photo category in your account. The “submit +” in front of the email address is what links the emailed photos to the photo category when sent.

• Import Previous Years’ Photos – If you’ve worked on previous books in our software, you can import photos from previous years projects into your current project by clicking "Import Previous Photos" button.
