You can organize photos in a gallery into separate folders. This helps you keep your gallery organized and easy to navigate for your clients. For example, if you were a wedding photographer, you may want to use the following organizational structure:
Bride Prep
Groom Prep
Ceremony
Portraits
Cocktails
Reception
In Sprout Studio, you can create folders to categorize your photos within a gallery.
You'll see all the folders in the "Folders" section of a gallery. There is always an "All Photos" folder, a system-created folder of all the photos you have uploaded to a gallery. You cannot move photos from the "All Photos" folder; instead, you can copy them into different folders.
The "All Photos" folder will always contain all photos.
Once a photo is in a folder, you can copy it to another folder (which will keep it in the original folder), or move it to another folder (which will remove it from the original folder).
You can see what photos aren't categorized in a folder by clicking the options next to the "All Photos" folder and clicking the "Uncategorized Photos" option. This will hide all photos that are categorized, helping you properly categorize all of your images.
How to create folders
There are two ways to create folders in a gallery:
Click the "Folders" section on the sidebar and click the "New" button.
Right-click any photo(s) in a gallery, click the "Copy to folder" button, and click the "New Folder" button from the dropdown.
Once you've created a folder, you'll be able to see and interact with it in the folders dropdown.
How to rename, delete and re-arrange folders
To rename a folder, click the "Edit" button beside the folder name in the Folders section. To delete a folder, click the "Edit" button beside the folder in the Folders section and click the "Delete" button. To re-arrange the order of folders, click the "Change Order" button in the Folder section and re-arrange the folders by dragging and dropping.
How to add photos to folders
To add photos to a folder, you must first select the photos in the gallery that you'd like to move. You can do this by:
Clicking on one photo and then command-clicking on each other photo.
Clicking on one photo and then shift-clicking on another photo. This will select every photo between the first and last one.
Clicking the "Select All" button to select all of the photos.
Once you've selected the photos you'd like to move or copy into a folder, you can copy them in two ways:
Right-click on any of the selected images and click the "Copy to Folder" button.
Drag them into the Folders section and then drop them into the folder you'd like to move them to.
How to hide the "All Photos" folder
As mentioned above, the "All Photos" folder is a system-created folder that is always there. If you'd rather not show this folder to your clients on the front end of the gallery, simply click the options next to the "All Photos" folder and click "Hide from Navigation". Just note, with this option, you need to have another folder set to be visible.
