To create your new album there is only one required field, which is the 'Title'. There are optional fields including adding a description, setting the album to featured/published and editing the access levels.

You can also edit the permissions of the album which can be found below this. Simply select the type of user and then choose their permissions from the drop down menu, for the different actions.

There are more settings which you may want to edit including 'Custom thumbnail', 'Media', 'Publishing', 'Ordering' and 'Metadata'. These can be found on the right hand side of the page. When you have finished creating your new album press 'Save & Close'.

This will then take you back to the 'Albums' page where your new album can be found.

Editing an album

Once you have created your album you can go back and make changes to it by selecting it and clicking on 'Edit'.

You can however make some changes to it directly from the Albums page.

You can change whether it is published, it's status and whether it is featured. To do this select the album and then use this toolbar to complete your desired actions.
