📘 How to Personalize Your Yearbook Pages
Personalized pages let you add your own photos, layouts, text, backgrounds, and artwork to your copy of the yearbook.
⚠️ Designer Note
For the best experience, personalized pages should be completed on a desktop or laptop computer (Mac or PC). Tablet support is limited and some editing functions may not work as expected.
