Keep sets private and choose when downloads open

Choose who sees each set

1. Open the gallery and go to its Share tab.
2. Set each set to Everyone, Family or Just us. Sets named after a haldi or getting ready are suggested, and you decide.
3. If each family should see only its own, mark a set as the bride's side or the groom's side.

Let people in

• Family: make a family link with its own PIN, and send both to the family.
• Each side: make a bride's side link and a groom's side link. Each leaves out the other side's sets.
• Just us: add people by mobile number or email. Each gets a one-time code when they ask for one.
• A new PIN closes the old link for everyone who used it. Removing a person closes it for them at once.
• Who opened it lists who came in through these ways, and when.

Let guests see only their own photos

Switch on "Guests see only the photos they are in". A guest then finds their photos with a selfie, and a private photo never matches a guest who has not been let in.

Choose when downloads open

• Open: free photos can be downloaded now. New galleries start here, and you can change your studio's default in Settings.
• After the advance: they open when the first part of the payment schedule is recorded.
• After full payment: they open when nothing is left to pay.
• Locked until I open it: they stay closed until you open them.

It opens by itself when the money is recorded, however it was paid. You can also open it by hand at any time, for example after a cash payment you trust.

What people see

• Guests read "Downloads are not open yet." and never see any mention of money.
• Your client, once they prove it with a one-time code, reads what is waiting and gets a Pay button.
• A premium photo that was bought always downloads as the original, whatever the lock says.
