Yearbook Master – Advanced Panel Pages

We have a simplified tool for them to make basic changes:

– Add people
– Remove people
– Modify a name
– Change photo or upload a photo of a new student

Please send this tutorial link to them which has a tutorial on how to make the changes.

This tutorial covers how to change the font of a panel page.

– Ensure the font you want to use is added through “Font Settings”

– Select your panel you want to change the font for

– Find the “Photo Font” setting

– Choose the font you want to use, from the dropdown. (Any fonts you have added to your book, will be available here as well)

– Adjust your “Photo Font Size” to fit appropriately.

When your panel was initially created, it was created based on the number of students and pages you selected for that grade or teacher. If you try to remove too many students, or add too many, it may change the number of “pages” required.

In the advanced panel builder, you can control the size and spacing of the images to ensure they fit properly on the number of pages you selected.

Usually, you just need to adjust the size of the panel, in the advanced tool.

You can move the panel itself to the: left, right, up or down

You cannot shrink or make the panel larger. This would distort the names and images.

To shift your panel, go to:

Layers > Select the “Panel” layer.

Move the Arrow Keys to shift the panel to your desired position.

Save your page.

Yes!

If you panel is “Not Approved Yet” it will be RED and say “Review & Approve”.

To make changes, click on “Needs Corrections”

and then click on “Edit People”

If your panel is “Approved” you will see the “Additional Corrections” button.

Click on that, and you will be able to add people and make edits.

Teachers can add photos from their simplified panel review tool, or you can add them from the advanced panel builder.

You can add a placeholder image for someone, upload your own logo to use, or even add their photo later.

– Click on “Add Photo” when in the Edit People, or in the Advanced Panel Builder

– Click on “Use Placeholder”

– Click on the Placeholder Icon (a green check will appear when you click on it)

You can come back anytime and remove the placeholder, or add a custom photo you take and replace the placeholder image. 

You can easily change where the names are on the panels.

– Go to your advanced panel editor

– Select a panel page to edit

– Find the “Photo Name Location:” option (at the bottom section)

– Select “Side” or “Bottom”

– “Generate Your Preview”

– Save the panel page.

The panels are a snapshot in time. They won’t automatically update or add new photos, doing so would overwrite your current work/progress.
You can add any existing photos by using the “Add Student” tool.

Go to the Advanced Panel Builder Tool:

– Select the panel page you want to work on

– Click on “Add Student”

– Select “Participant with wrong teacher or grade”

– Search for the name

– Click on Add Student

This will add them to the panel. Look in the list, and if they are listed more than once, you can “Exclude” the photo you don’t want to use. Click on their photo to see the available photo options and choose a different one if you want.

Once all your changes are made, you’ll need to scroll down to the bottom, and generate the panel, review it, and then save it.
