Tour of eDesign

Getting Started

Go to myvarsityyearbook.com, log in, and you’ll be taken to eDesign’s homepage.
What you see varies by your role: adviser, editor, or staff member.
Navigation tabs across the top take you to the different modules within eDesign.

Upload, view, and manage images, art, templates, and mods you’ll use in your book.
Candids is where you upload and manage your regular images.
- Drag and drop images into the Candids area or go to the Import/Export menu and choose to upload from your device or Google Drive.
To preview an image: double-click it, use arrow keys to scroll through images, click away to close.
Select the Preview tab to see a larger version on the right side of the panel.
The Tags tab contains topic tags, keywords, and name tags.
- Topic tags are crucial for organizing images — create a robust set early in the year.
- You can import your tag list from last year.
- Once images are tagged, use the topic filter at the top to find them quickly.

Click the Help button to open the help widget.
Search for topics — results include links to documents and video tutorials.
Videos pop up within eDesign so you can resume right where you left off after closing.

Click the Book tab to enter the book module.
The default view is the Ladder — a visual representation of all pages arranged in double-page spreads.
Additional views: Grid View and Flipbook.
If you have editing rights, double-click a page thumbnail to open it in Page Design.
Click the padlock icon to open the facing page.
To return to the book module: click the X in the top right, or choose File > Save and Close.
