Collect and share neighbors' photos

A gallery belongs to your neighborhood, and your organizers run it. Click New Gallery, give it a name, and optionally a Custom URL Slug so the link reads like /photos/g/fall-festival. Upload Instructions show at the top of the upload page. Open the gallery and the Upload Link card has the link to paste into an email or onto a flyer. Anyone with the link can upload; nobody needs an account. If a link ends up somewhere it shouldn't, Regenerate Token turns the old one off. Photo galleries depend on your neighborhood's plan, and so does how many photos they can hold: every uploaded photo counts, published or not, across your galleries and your affiliated clubs' galleries, and uploads are turned away once the total is reached. If you need galleries or more room and they aren't available yet, email [email protected].

The upload page is the gallery's public face: published photos, filterable by event, plus an Add Photos button. In the Add Photos window the uploader picks the event the photos are from (Tag to Event) or the series, and can leave a name and email under Your Information; the email is how they hear back when you approve. After uploading comes a privacy step: the page looks for faces and covers faces it reads as children with an emoji. The uploader can tap any face to cover or uncover it, or add a cover the detector missed. A photo only reaches your review queue once that step is done.

Nothing an uploader sends goes public on its own. Open the gallery and new photos wait under Pending Approval. Approving a photo emails its uploader (open a photo to add a short thank-you to that email) but keeps it private, under Approved, Not Yet Published. Publish is the step that makes it visible on the gallery page and on its event. To work through a pile, tick the photos and use the bar that appears at the bottom: Approve, Publish, or Edit captions. Publishing a photo that hasn't been approved yet approves it on the way.

Tick the photos you want, then Edit captions in the bottom bar. You get one page with a caption field beside each photo. Type a line into Same caption for all and press Apply to all to fill every field, then adjust any that need their own words before you save. A caption shows when someone opens the photo in the gallery.

Published photos tagged to an event appear on that event's public page once the event allows it. Edit the event, open the Photo Gallery section, and check Show photo gallery on event page; the section also shows every photo already tagged to it. A series has the same switch, so every event in it shows its photos. For the neighborhood page itself, open a published photo and check Show in Neighborhood Memories to add it to the Community Memories section there.

Every club has its own gallery, and the club's organizers review and publish its photos, not you. Your Photo Galleries page lists your affiliated clubs' galleries under Club galleries: how many photos are published, how many are waiting for the club's review, and how many you've taken down. Open takes you to that club's gallery page. You can see everything there, but there are no Approve or Publish buttons for you unless you also organize that club.

On a club's gallery page, the Neighborhood oversight card is your part. Take this photo down (on a photo's own page) removes it from every public page with a reason you write, and the club can't publish it again until you restore it. Turn this gallery off stops all uploads and takes the gallery's photos off the club's event pages. Either way, the club's organizers are emailed what you did and why, and they see the reason on their own screens.
