If you make a mistake, go to the top menu, Edit > Undo. Or use the shortcut Cmd + z.Ctrl + z.
Sub-tabs under "Working with Modes" in the Working with Products section help organize and display both ordered and unordered products.
There are 5 sets available when Working with Products, Rooms, Books, and Slideshows. Sets are located on the top left-hand side just above the thumbnails. Sets can be used to group your items together. This may be useful, for example, if you have created a large number of products and want to organize them.
These Sets work in a very similar way to Image Sets. Click on the drop-down arrow next to "Set 1" to reveal all sets.
- From here you can choose to view the items from a particular set, show all the sets, or edit the set names.
- By default, you will always be working within "Set 1."
- A checkmark appears next to the currently open set.
- The item count is shown next to each set name.
Show All Sets
Selecting "Show all Sets" will reveal all 5 sets. Each set is represented by a folder.
- The currently selected set will be highlighted.
- A checkmark on the folder indicates there are items in that set.
- Clicking on a set will open the folder and show all items in the Display Area below.
Moving Items to a Set
- Select "Show All Sets" from the drop-down menu.
- Select one or more items and drag and drop them into one of the five sets.
- A magenta box will appear around the set you are currently dragging items into.
While in Thumbnail view or Show view, you can quickly move any selected items to another set using the keyboard keys “1” to “5” which correspond to Sets 1 to 5. For example, pressing the “2” key will move the selected item into the second set.
If you hold the OptionAlt key down when dropping an item into a set, then the item will be automatically duplicated, and the duplicate will be placed into the designated set.
Editing Set Names
Select "Edit Set Names" from the drop-down menu. Alternatively, go to the top menu, File > Change Set Names. The Edit Set Name dialog will appear.
- You can either type in individual names for the sets or select the names from the Set Names Library.
- Remember that "Set 1" will always be the default set in which images are loaded into.
Set Names Library
You can save frequently used Set names into the Set Name Library using the Save Arrow button (the lower one). Clicking on the arrow will make a copy of the set names you have created. You will be prompted to enter a name for the group. This group will then be saved and available to use in other working with modes.
Loading Set Names
By default, the top row of names in the Set Name Library is used when a new Album is started. To change this, drag the row of set names that you wish to use to the top row. To apply set names from the Library to your current Album, select the row of names that you want, click the Load Arrow button (the top one), and click OK.

If you have a large number of products or rooms, they may not all be able to fit inside the Display Area. A scroll bar will appear on the right-hand side. If you want to view more of the product/room thumbnails, you may want to increase the Display Area size. Use the up and down arrows 
on the top-right of the Template Resource Area (next to the smart filter) to show more or less rows of available resources. The arrows will remain hidden until you mouse over them. This will increase the Display Area.
The same concept is used when Working with Rooms. You can view more or less of the library room images below by using the up and down arrows .
