Working with the project album
Every project has an album — all of its photos and videos on your phone, the same album your team sees on the web. Hundreds of photos stay fast to scroll and new captures appear before they’ve uploaded. Sharing happens here too: public links, photo report PDFs, QuickBooks, and your camera roll.1. Browse and filter
Open the project, scroll to Files, and tap View album on the Album card (it previews the latest photos and shows the count). Tapping Done in the camera lands here too. Everything shows newest-first, with two pills at the top:- Layout — cycle the grid between 1, 2, and 4 photos per row.
- Filter — narrow to photos with specific tags, photos that are marked up, or both.
2. The photo viewer
Tap a photo to open it full screen. Swipe left and right to move through the album, pinch to zoom, swipe down to dismiss. From the viewer, open the photo’s details (title, description, note, tags, address), enter markup mode, leave comments and reactions for your team, or save the photo to your device. See Tags, markup, and descriptions and Notifications and collaboration.3. Add photos from your phone’s library
Open the album’s ⋯ menu and choose Add from album to pick photos and videos from your library. Imports upload and scan like any capture and surface at the top of the album — sorted by when you added them, not when they were taken.4. Select photos in bulk
Selection mode — from the ⋯ menu’s Delete items, or any share flow that needs a selection — lets you tap photos, with Select All / Deselect All in the header. The action you entered with runs on the selection: delete, share as a link, export to PDF, or push to QuickBooks. Deleting asks you to confirm and says exactly what’s going (“Delete 2 photos and 1 video?“).5. Share
Tap Share in the album header.
Album links and PDFs both let you choose whether photo descriptions are included — see Photo descriptions. For a single photo, save to device from the viewer puts it in your camera roll.
6. Troubleshooting common issues
- A photo I just took isn’t in the album on the web yet. It’s queued to upload — the phone shows it immediately, the web when the upload lands. See Offline and syncing.
- “Share photos to QuickBooks” isn’t in my share sheet. The project isn’t linked to a QuickBooks customer, or the connector isn’t set up. See QuickBooks.
- I can’t select more than 100 photos for a PDF. That’s the per-report limit. Filter by tag and export one area per PDF.
- Someone with the album link can’t see the newest photos. Check the photos have finished uploading, and remember a specific items link only shows what was picked when it was created — share a fresh link.
- I deleted photos but they’re still on my camera roll. Deleting from the album removes photos from the project, not your device — and the reverse for imports.
