Projects and album categories
Below the Library and Recent categories, other categories appear when specific types of content
are present in your library. The Projects category (not to be confused with the Projects icon in the
Library category) lists each project in your library. When you add albums to your library (book
albums, Light Table albums, slideshow albums, and so on), those categories appear in the Library
inspector (unless you add an album to a specific project, in which case the album appears below
that project in the Projects category).

Create and name items

You can create new items in the Library inspector to organize your photos. When you create a
new item, such as an album, the item is empty. You add photos to the new item by dragging
photos to it. Newly created Smart Albums and Smart Web Page Albums do not contain photos.
You add photos to them by setting the Smart Album’s search criteria.

Note: You cannot put photos in folders. Folders are designed to help you organize projects,
albums, and other folders in the Library inspector.
