📝 What is the difference between Yearbook 1, Yearbook 2, Available for YB1, and Available for YB2?
Available for YB1 or Available for YB2 are attributes applied to images by the studio in Blueprint to limit the pool of images your customers may choose from when selecting their desired yearbook pose(s).
Yearbook 1 and Yearbook 2 attributes are automatically applied to images once your customer selects their desired pose. Or studios can manually apply these attributes to images inside Blueprint. Once applied, these attributes can be used for generating custom exports, such as a PSPA export.
