  • To change the photos currently being pulled, click the "Filter" button that is in the upper right-hand corner. There you can change the date range or clear it out altogether. If you tap "Clear," it will then display all photos from your selected source to choose from

  • Once you've selected a new Filter or selected "Clear," click "Apply"

  • Tap on the photos you want to add to your Monthbook and click "Continue with x photos"
