🎉 We’re at the National Genealogical Society Conference and absolutely loving it! It’s been so inspiring to meet fellow family history enthusiasts and hear all about your incredible memory collections. 💬📸📚

If you’re here at the conference, come visit us at the Preserving Your Heritage booth! We’d love to chat with you about organizing, preserving, and sharing your family legacy—and show you how we can help. 🙌

Step 28: Create a Collaborative Album
Collaborative albums are great for sharing group and event photos and videos. Individuals can create their own FREE FOREVER Account to upload files into the album to share. Do this by creating an album and from there select Share, then check the Allow anyone with the link to upload button. Share the album however you’d like—with a Link, QR Code, or Email.
NOTE: This enables anyone with the link who has an account to upload files to the album. Files uploaded will belong to you, appear in your Gallery, and count against your storage. Again, anyone on the internet can view and download the content with a link, so make sure you’re sharing with those you trust.

Step 27: View a Slideshow in FOREVER
The Slideshow feature in FOREVER is an effortless way to share photos in group settings, like birthday and anniversary parties or at a celebration of life. The easiest way to do this is to organize all the photos you’d like to display into an album. Click on the album, the 3 dots, then View Slideshow. Click the settings icon to adjust how your slideshow plays.

Step 26: Share Photos & Videos
Privacy Settings are helpful for sharing albums or keeping them private. Use the Share button to share specific files, albums, or tags with whomever you want with a Link, QR Code, or Email.
TIP: Anyone on the internet with the link can view and download the content, so make sure you’re sharing with those you trust.

Step 25: Select Privacy Settings
FOREVER makes it easy to share what you want with whom you want. Select a Private, Public, Connections, or Groups privacy setting for each of your albums. Private means only you can see the files. Public means that anyone can view them. Connections means anyone that’s connected to you through FOREVER can see your photos and videos set to Connections (NOTE: albums set to Private remain viewable only to you, not Connections). Groups means only certain people you choose to be in your Groups can see the files.
TIP: Manage who your Connections are and who’s in your Groups in the menu bar.

Step 24: Add Descriptions
One of the best parts of FOREVER is adding descriptions to images and even albums. Click a photo to add a story or description to the file. Click on an album, the 3 dots, then Edit Details, to add a description of the album. Specific moments and stories can be easily remembered and shared with others using descriptions.
TIP: Try talk to text in the app for the quickest way to add descriptions! Tap the information icon when viewing a photo or on your album name while viewing an album. Click to add a description. Tap the microphone icon on your mobile device's keyboard to speak and automatically add your story or description.

Step 23: Apply Tags
Tags are useful to link related images together that are in separate albums (e.g., Colorado, Dance, etc.). As you scroll through your gallery or albums, select ones that are connected. Click Organize, Add Tags, then Select Tags to start typing a new Tag to add. Navigate to Tags in your menu bar and select a specific one to view all related photos and videos from that Tag.
