Learn how to make a Monthbook from Chatbooks.com

Updated over 2 weeks ago

If you'd like to create and send a Monthbook to print from the website, follow this how-to.

First, be sure you are logged into the account your subscription is under at www.chatbooks.com.

Once you are logged in, you can find your active subscription under the "Bookshelf" section of the website:

From here, click into the Monthbook you want to add photos to. If the book is empty, you'll see a + sign in the middle of the screen to start adding photos to the book:

If you already have a photo in the book and would like to add more, you'll see a + sign on the left-side of the screen by "Photos":

Once you start adding photos, you can choose to select photos from your Computer or Google Photos.

You can add a minimum of 30 photos and a maximum of 60 photos to the book. This how-to will also show you how to best use Google Photos as your photo source.

If you do use "Add from Computer," tap on the photos you want to add and tap "Open." The photos you selected will then be added to the book.

You can see what photos are in your book on the left-hand side of the web browser. They will have a check-mark on the photo.

To add a Caption, adjust the "Date & Location", the Page layout, scroll down and click on an individual photo, and select which action you'd like to do from there. You can find the "Page Options" on the right-hand side of the window.

This menu will also allow you to do Batch actions within the book- you can choose to "Hide all" or "Show all" for your Captions, Dates and Locations:

In the menu bar at top of the page, you have the ability to "Rearrange pages":

You will want to use this option if you want to drag and drop to move the photos within the photo book. Once you're done moving the pages, click "Exit Rearrange" at the bottom of the page there.

You can also Share and Preview the book by tapping the icons at the top of the page here:

If you'd like to adjust the title on your Monthbook, on the left-hand side, under "Cover Options" you'll see "Title." Click there and tap into the text box, change the title and click "Save."

Once you have a minimum of 30 pages and a maximum of 60 pages in the book, you can send the book to print. Click the "Send to print" button that is found in the upper right-hand corner of the page:

On the next page, you can confirm the book and where the book is being shipped to. Then click "Send to Print."

Your Monthbook is now off to print! Click "Bookshelf" to see your subscription to start another Monthbook.
