# Create an album or an album group

You can create a new album or a group of new albums at any time. For example, you might create an album group called “Vacations” and create separate albums within it, one for each vacation you photograph.

### Create an album

1. Click the Create New Album Or Album Group button in the Albums palette of the Task pane and choose New Album.
2. (Optional) From the Group menu, choose a group into which to place the album.
3. In the Name box, type a name for the album.
4. In the Note box, type any information you want to add about the album. (For example, you could write that the album represents your garden.) Click OK.

   The album appears in the Albums palette under the album group you specified.

   Until you add photos to the album, it uses a question mark icon . When you add a photo to an album, that photo will be used as the icon. To change the icon, see Change a tag’s icon.

### Create an album group

1. Click the Create New Album Or Album Group button in the Albums palette of the Task pane, and choose New Album Group.
2. In the Create Album Group box, type a name for the album group.
3. (Optional) From the Parent Album Group menu, choose a group into which to nest your album group.
4. Click OK.

   The album group appears in the Albums palette under the album group you specified.
