     3 Editors

    3.a General Information
    Depending on the type of book you are creating you may choose to populate the book
    yourself or have a team of helpers to help oversee the process and/or pupil editors who
    can edit their allocated pages.
    The Book Creator Interface can support three levels of editor:
    The Organiser - sets up the book and can oversee and edit everything.
    Supervisors - (Teacher/Parent/ Yearbook Team Member) can edit and oversee all
    pages belonging to a book. This includes proof reading and editing pages populated by
    pupil editors. They can also populate pages that they have agreed to complete.
    Pupils - can edit pages that the Book Organiser has specifically allocated to them only.
    Organising the editing of your book
    The three levels of editor could allow for the following organisation (or similar):
        Any book being organised and edited by an individual requires: Book
         Organiser only.
        A single class book (where pupils will help with editing) requires: A Book
         Organiser and Pupil Editors.
        A multiple class book (where pupils will help with editing) requires: A Book
         Organiser, Supervisors (these could be teachers, parents or Yearbook team
         members).
        A multiple class book or whole school book (where Parents/Teachers or
         Yearbook Team Supervisors will be the editors ie a PTA Project/ Senior School
         yearbook) requires: Book Organiser, Adult or Student Supervisors.

    3.d Access Time
    From the drop down options choose when you would like the editor to be able to access

    an option to complete pages this could allow members of the family to be involved with
    the content on the child’s allocated pages.
    You will also know when your editor have access to editing pages so that when you
    read through and make changes you are not overwriting content the same time as

          book to print.

        Request a PDF Proof can also be selected from the project tab and a low
          resolution and watermarked PDF will be generated for you. This is another good

    3.c Image Quality
    Do not upload low resolution photos. Standard or high (500kb+) will print nicely for all
    small photo boxes and higher resolution (1 to 1.5 mb) would be best for the larger
    photo boxes. For full page photos we would recommend 2 mb. Super high quality
    photos will take a long time to load but once uploaded the Book Creator will
    automatically reduce the quality for online use in the future.
    3.d Checking Image Quality
    Once you have dragged your photo into the box on the page where you wish to use it,
    you can click on the image to do a quality check. The smiley face will let you know
