Assigning cover photo to a password-protected gallery

By default, the appearance of a password-protected gallery will display a protected thumbnail icon with asterisks. To display a photo thumbnail instead of that you must make one of the photos in your gallery public and then assign that photo as the Cover photo.

1. Click to select the password-protected gallery you would like to edit in the Organizer. Thumbnails will load in the Main Area and the name of the gallery will display at the top.
2. In the Main Area, select the photo you would like to assign as a Cover Photo. Details for that photo will load in the Toolbox.
3. In the Toolbox under Access Control section click Edit.
4. Uncheck the Same as Containing Gallery (Locked with password) checkbox
5. Select Public - open to all visitors
6. Click Save to apply your changes
7. In the Main Area, move your mouse over the photo you have just made public. Click on the blue icon with the down-pointing arrow that appears as your mouse moves over the thumbnail. A Photo Menu will appear.
8. Choose Select as Cover Photo from the menu. A new window will open and prompt you to assign the selected photo to that gallery. A thumbnail of the selected photo will appear under Toolbox » Cover Photo and Theme confirming the selection.

Note: Gallery cover photos can only be selected from within that gallery.
