✨ Overview

A Section is a way to organize your yearbook by topic. Each section groups together related pages, helping keep your project structured and easier to manage.

A section can consist of a single page or multiple pages, depending on the content you want to include.


🧩 Common Yearbook Sections

Typical sections in a yearbook include:

  • Title Page & Introduction (often including a Principal’s Letter or welcome message)
  • Portraits (organized by grade or class)
  • Student Life
  • Sports
  • Events
  • Clubs
  • Advertising

Sections allow you to divide your book into logical groups that make the final yearbook easier to navigate.


➕ Creating a New Section

To create a section:

1️⃣ Locate the Add Section link below the cover pages.


2️⃣ Select the Section Type

You will be prompted to choose the type of section:

Freeform – Flexible page layouts for general content such as events or student life

Portrait – Automatically generated portrait pages using portrait data

Ad – Pages designed specifically for advertisements or parent ads


3️⃣ Name the Section and Choose Page Count

Enter a section title and select the number of pages you want the section to contain.

📌 Best Practice:
Aside from the first and last pages of the book, it is recommended to keep sections in even-numbered page counts. This makes it easier to rearrange sections later if you decide to change the order.


⚙️ Managing Sections

Each section includes a gear icon that provides management options.

Using this menu, you can:

  • Mark the section Ready for Review
  • Lock the section to prevent edits
  • Rename the section
  • Delete the section

These tools help editors and advisers manage workflow as the yearbook progresses.


🧠 Final Tip

Organizing your yearbook into clearly defined sections makes it easier for editors, contributors, and advisers to collaborate while building the book.
