Control Web/Mac/PC Guide

Clicking the Edit Album button at the bottom left of the window opens a new Edit Album

Information window containing the metadata. (Be patient — this may take some time.) Clicking
the X in the upper right-hand corner closes the window.

The metadata is organized into eight sub-pages, selected by clicking the tabs along the top.

Important Note: All changes are provisional until you click the

Save

button at the bottom of the

window. If you close the window (by tapping the X in the upper right-hand corner of the window)
without clicking Save, your edits will be lost.

Info

The Edit Album window opens in this tab. Manual editing on this page is mostly a matter of typing

new information into the available fields, but a number of items work distinctively:
