Questions & answers

Here you can easily find answers on the most frequently asked questions (and more)!

Book creation

Nothing really! Just get started using one of our templates – later, you can still edit the book, upload images etc.

It really is supposed to be quick & easy for You as the creator!

It takes just about 3-5 minutes to set up your book project and get others invited!

Then, give your co-creators 3-5 days to participate to ensure the book gets filled properly and not rushed (some may want to think about what to write down or look for the perfect picture to upload).

Right now, you can…

  • edit the profile page questions
  • edit texts (like introduction, book title, last page)
  • select layout images for the cover
  • add voice messages to the profile page (currently only available online)
  • adding own (company-) logos
  • change the book color
  • add images for photo-pages – single upload or multiple files (batch upload)
  • add images for full-size content pages
  • edit or delete participant pages
  • sort pages and photos


In the near future we want to add options such as…

  • changing the font of the text You write
  • adding an image to the cover
  • select new page types
  • adding empty profile pages
  • changing the number of question fields
