Change the name, date, language and link

The name is guest-facing

Your guests read the event name on the upload page and in the album, so write it how you'd announce it instead of as a filing label. Changing it later costs nothing and affects nothing else — the code, the link and each contribution stay precisely where they're.

It also shows up in the exported archive s file name, so renaming before you download beats doing it after.

1. Open Settings on the event. Name, date and review sit here; guest-facing styling belongs on the guest page.
2. Change what you need. It kicks in for the next guest who visits the page, not to anybody holding it open.
3. Look at the guest page. Open it on a phone afterward. That's where the change is visible.

The date moves the expiry

The retention window is pinned to the event date, rather than the day you created or paid for the event. Moving the date therefore moves when the album expires, in both directions. That's the 1 edit on this page with a consequence beyond appearance.

A date in the past gets sensible handling: the clock starts at creation instead, so an album made the next morning still gets its full window.

Only the date has a consequence you can't see on the page. Everything else is appearance.

The guest-page language

This sets the language your guests read on the upload page and in the album, and it's separate from the language your own dashboard is in. 8 to pick from: English, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano, Nederlands, 日本語 and Bahasa Indonesia.

Select the one most of your guests read. Brevity is intentional, so the rest follow the photos.

The code survives all of it

A code aims at the album itself, not its details. Rename the event come party morning, move the date, change the color — the sign on the table keeps working. That's why printing early costs you nothing.

A code that suddenly opens the wrong album is a distinct problem: an older file went to the printer.

The settings live in 2 places

Name, date and the review setting live in the event settings. Everything your guests see — language, styling, the optional steps before and after an upload — belongs on the guest page. That split is the detour folks take when hunting for a switch.

If a setting isn't where you expected, look in the other of the two before concluding it doesn't exist.

When a change takes effect

For the next guest who visits the page. Anybody who already has it open retains the old state up until they reload, which matters if you edit mid-party and then wonder why a guest still spots the old wording.

Nothing already uploaded is affected by any of these edits.
