What is this?

With Create album you set up a new collection for your choir''s media. Usually you create one album per occasion — for example "Summer concert 2026", "Rehearsal weekend March", "Performance at the city gala".

An album needs at least a title. Everything else — description, date, visibility — you can add any time.

How to create an album

  1. Open the "Media" area in the main menu.
  2. Click "New album" at the top right. In the app you tap the plus icon in the "Media" tab.
  3. Enter a title that clearly describes the occasion.
  4. Optional: add a description and the date of the occasion.
  5. Pick the visibility:
    • Internal — only choir members see the album
    • Public — album additionally appears on the choir website
  6. Click "Create album". You land directly in the album and can upload media immediately.

Which fields you should use

  • Title — short and concise, ideally with a date or year
  • Description — short text on the occasion, program, highlights
  • Cover image — set automatically with the first upload, can be changed later
  • Visibility — internal or public

Permission

You need the Create & edit albums & media permission to create albums. By default choir directors, the board and members with the media management role have this permission. Regular members can see albums but not create them.

Tips

  • Create the album right after the occasion, while media is still fresh and the memory is alive.
  • Use clear, searchable titles like "Spring concert 2026 — Town hall", so the album is easy to find in two years too.
  • Get consent from people pictured before publication, especially for public albums — privacy is important.

Frequently asked questions

Can I move media to another album later?
Currently you have to re-upload items individually if they ended up in the wrong album. A direct move feature is in preparation.
What is the difference between internal and public?
Internal albums are only visible to logged-in members. Public albums additionally appear on your choir's website and are visible to all visitors — even without an account.
Can I switch an album from internal to public later?
Yes, any time via "Edit album". Make sure that all people pictured agree with publication.
