What is this?

With Edit album you adjust the basic data of an existing media album. You can change title, description, occasion date, cover image and visibility any time — for example to name the occasion more precisely or to switch the visibility.

The media itself remains — editing only affects the album properties.

How to edit an album

  1. Open the "Media" area and click the desired album.
  2. Click "Edit album" (top right or in the three-dot menu).
  3. Adjust the desired fields:
    • Title — new name of the album
    • Description — short text about the occasion
    • Date — when the occasion took place
    • Cover image — pick one of the album items
    • Visibility — internal or public
  4. Click "Save" — the changes are visible immediately.

What you cannot edit directly

  • Move individual items between albums — currently only via re-upload
  • Display order — items are sorted by upload date
  • Who uploaded which item — this info stays unchangeable

Permission

You need Create & edit albums & media to edit albums. By default choir directors, the board and media administrators have this permission.

Tips

  • Maintain descriptions carefully, especially for public albums — they give visitors context.
  • Pick a meaningful cover — the first image members and visitors see shapes the impression.
  • Set visibility to public only after consultation — privacy is important especially with recordings of people.

Frequently asked questions

Can I switch from "internal" to "public" later?
Yes, any time. Note that public albums appear on the choir website immediately and are visible to everyone. Get consent from people pictured if needed.
How do I change the cover image?
When editing you can pick one of the existing items as the cover. Open the album, click "Edit album" and pick the desired cover image from the list.
Are my changes visible immediately?
Yes. As soon as you click "Save", all members see the updated data. For public albums the changes are reflected on the website within a few minutes.
