Currently, one post can be added per page in our 7" x 7" printed books. You also have the option to split a post across multiple pages.
Using the edit tools at the top of each page, you can:
1. Using the "A" icon, change the font size (10 pt is the smallest font).
2. If an image is on the same page as the associated message, using the landscape icon (edit media) you can hide the media from the page so it won't show in the final layout, make it smaller, or make it larger.
If an image is on a page of its own, you can also make it full page so that the image takes up the entirety of the page. Just be aware that the red dotted lines are where the image will be cropped when printed. You can adjust where the image falls within those red dotted lines by selecting the landscape icon again and clicking "Adjust image crop".
3. For GIFs (which will print exactly as you see them in the layout), you can use the same landscape icon to change the frame that is shown to a beginning frame, a middle frame, or an ending frame. Continue to click "Change frame" until you are happy with what is shown. This will help you control how the GIFs look when printed, as sometimes, they may freeze on an undesirable frame.
4. Use the window icon to split the content into separate pages until the red dotted line is gone, or the two arrows icon to combine content from the same post onto the same page.
5. You can remove pages from the layout so that they will not print in the final product by clicking the "X" icon. This will put the post in your "Unplaced posts" column on the right-hand side of the editor. You can always drag pages back into the layout for printing by clicking and holding the crossed arrows icon and dragging them to the desired position within the layout.
Note: Split pages can not be deleted. You'll need to re-combine the pages, and then delete it.
6. You can move pages around in your layout by clicking and holding on the crossed arrows icon in the upper left-hand corner of a page and dragging the page to the desired location.
7. You may upload a new cover image, reset the cover image to the original, or make the cover image full page (be mindful of the red dotted crop lines!) directly from your book draft using the landscape icon in the upper right-hand corner of the current cover image.
Here are some guidelines when clicking "Make it full page" to help you better understand if your image fits on the front cover of your book and won't be cropped when printed. You can click the landscape icon shown above and choose "Adjust image crop" to refine your full-page image position if needed:
Please note that you will not be able to edit the back cover of your book.
