Ladder vs Section Books
Section Manager
If you have used our Creator Studio software in the past, you will already be familiar with a sectioned book and managing sections. This type of project tends to be easier to use and is recommended for small schools with yearbook advisers that are new to yearbook design. You will start by adding sections with a common theme (i.e. First Grade, Staff, Events, etc.). Then you will add pages and assign team members to work on each section.
Page Ladder
If you are an experienced yearbook adviser and you prefer a traditional approach to yearbook design, then you will want to create a ladder book. This project type is for recommended for bigger schools that have an experienced adviser and yearbook team. You will start by choosing a page count and all your pages will be flowed in a continuous vertical list of pages. Instead of creating sections, you can name pages and create portrait groups to help stay organized. When adding pages to a ladder book, they must always be added in pairs. You cannot add single pages to a ladder book.
