# Albums

Albums organize your job photos into named folders. Find what you need in one tap and share an entire folder with a customer or colleague as a single link. This article covers adding photos to an album, sharing albums, removing photos, and annotating album photos, all from the Zuper mobile app.

<Info>
  Albums are available on both active and completed jobs. You can add photos to an album at any time, regardless of job status.
</Info>

## Before you begin

* Roofing accounts include six default albums. For all other account types, your admin creates albums in **Settings** > **Modules** > **Jobs** > **Gallery Settings**. The **Albums** tab appears in the mobile gallery as soon as at least one album exists.
* Sharing via text message requires a Zuper Connect subscription. The **Text** tab is available to Zuper Connect subscribers only — contact your admin to confirm whether it is included in your plan.

## Navigation

The gallery opens on the **Photos** tab by default. The **Albums** tab sits at the bottom of the screen, next to **Photos**.

## Adding photos to an album

You can add photos to an album in two ways: from the **Photos** tab in the gallery, or from inside an album.

### Method 1: From the Photos tab

Use this method to add photos already in the job gallery to an album.

1. Open the gallery and tap the **Photos** tab.
2. Tap and hold any photo to start selecting.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/zuperinc/uUJ6wlWL66Lh8YOx/images/Mob_album1-(4).png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uUJ6wlWL66Lh8YOx&q=85&s=5a6ca1b083296b8b14eed8143d8f8249" style={{ height:"690px",width:"350px" }} className="rounded-lg" alt="Mob Album1 (1)" title="Mob Album1 (1)" width="1419" height="2796" data-path="images/Mob_album1-(4).png" />

3. Tap the **Add to Album** icon at the bottom right of the screen. The **Add to Album** sheet opens, listing all available albums for this job. Add the photos to the album.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/zuperinc/uUJ6wlWL66Lh8YOx/images/Mob_album1-(5).png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uUJ6wlWL66Lh8YOx&q=85&s=92501f8e995e6561469ad2492409d6f3" style={{ height:"690px",width:"350px" }} className="rounded-lg" alt="Mob Album1 (1)" title="Mob Album1 (1)" width="1419" height="2796" data-path="images/Mob_album1-(5).png" />

3. Tap **Share** to share the album immediately or tap **Copy Link** to copy the album link to your clipboard.

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/zuperinc/uUJ6wlWL66Lh8YOx/images/Mob_album1-(7).png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uUJ6wlWL66Lh8YOx&q=85&s=73462f6a38b972cc70202b8ebf0a2bfb" style={{width:"48%"}} className="rounded-lg" alt="Task Tra13 Portrait 1" title="Task Tra13 Portrait 1" width="1419" height="2796" data-path="images/Mob_album1-(7).png" />

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/zuperinc/uUJ6wlWL66Lh8YOx/images/Mob_album1-(6).png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uUJ6wlWL66Lh8YOx&q=85&s=baadbb80f7d82fa3fbc6d111c9b2c358" style={{width:"48%"}} className="rounded-lg" alt="st-task-trad-portrait" title="st-task-trad-portrait1" width="1419" height="2796" data-path="images/Mob_album1-(6).png" />
</div>

### Method 2: From inside an album

Use this method when you want to capture a new photo or add a photo from the job gallery directly into a specific album.

1. Open the gallery and tap the **Albums** tab.
2. Tap the album you want to add photos to. The album detail screen opens.
3. Tap the **(+)** button at the bottom right of the screen. A sub-menu appears with two options:
   * **Add from Job** — select from photos already in the job gallery.
   * **Camera** — capture a new photo directly into this album.
4. Tap your preferred option and complete the action.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/zuperinc/2on3kNjdNlLELU4r/images/Mob_album1-(13).png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2on3kNjdNlLELU4r&q=85&s=ba0a0157c51400d80193d9bc45f5ce73" style={{ height:"690px",width:"350px" }} className="rounded-lg" alt="Mob Album1 (1)" title="Mob Album1 (1)" width="1419" height="2796" data-path="images/Mob_album1-(13).png" />

<Note>
  Photos added using **Add from Job** or **Camera** are automatically synced back to the job gallery. Removing a photo from an album later does not delete it from the job gallery.
</Note>

## Sharing an album

Album links are view-only. Recipients can browse every photo but cannot make changes. Open the sharing options from the **Albums** tab or from inside the album.

### Method 1: Long-press from the Albums tab

1. Open the gallery and tap the **Albums** tab.
2. Tap and hold an album thumbnail. A sub-menu appears with two options: **Copy Link** and **Share Album**.
3. Tap **Share Album** to open the **Share Album** screen, where you can send via email or text.
4. Tap **Copy Link** to copy the album link directly to your clipboard without opening the share screen.

### Method 2: From inside an album

1. Open the gallery, tap the **Albums** tab, and tap the album you want to share. The album detail screen opens.
2. Tap the **(⋯)** menu at the top of the screen. The **Copy Link** and **Share Album** options appear.
3. Tap **Share Album** to open the **Share Album** screen or tap **Copy Link** to copy the link.

## Removing a photo from an album

Removing a photo from an album only removes the association with the album. The photo remains in the job gallery.

1. Open the gallery, tap the **Albums** tab, and tap the album that contains the photo.
2. Tap and hold the photo you want to remove. The bottom bar changes to show the selection count, with a **Share** icon on the left and a **Trash** icon on the right.
3. Tap the **Trash** icon.
4. Confirm the removal when prompted.

<Note>
  The photo stays in the job gallery after removal. To find it, go back to the gallery and tap the **Photos** tab.
</Note>

## Annotating album photos

You can annotate any photo inside an album the same way you annotate photos in the job gallery.

1. Open the album and tap a photo to open it in the full-screen viewer.
2. Use the annotation tools to draw, mark up, or highlight areas of the photo.
3. Save your annotations.

For full annotation steps, see [Mobile image annotations](#).

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The Text tab does not appear when I try to share an album. Why?">
    The **Text** tab is available only to Zuper Connect subscribers. If your account does not include Zuper Connect, only the **Email** tab appears on the share screen. Contact your admin to find out whether your organization has a Zuper Connect subscription.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I add photos to an album on a completed job?">
    You can add photos to albums on both active and completed jobs at any time. The job status does not affect album access.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I do not see the Albums tab in the gallery. Why?">
    The **Albums** tab appears only when your admin has created at least one album in **Settings** > **Modules** > **Jobs** > **Gallery Settings**. Roofing accounts include six default albums. For all other account types, ask your admin to create an album so the tab becomes visible.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does removing a photo from an album delete it from the job?">
    The photo stays safe in the job gallery. Removing it from an album only clears the album association — nothing is deleted. You can find it again under the **Photos** tab at any time.

    If the issue continues, contact [Support](mailto:support@zuper.co).
