FAQs

Q: Can I add multiple photos to an event?

A: Yes, you can add multiple photos to each event. The first photo will be featured on the timeline tab, and all photos will be viewable when visitors click on the event.

Q: Can I edit the date or description after adding an event?

A: Yes, you can edit any part of the event, including the date, label, description, and photos.

Q: What if I only know the year of an event?

A: You can add events with just the year and/or month if you don't know the exact date. If you only place the year, it will appear as if the date was January 1 of that year. However, only the year will show as the date on the left.
