Two Ways to Import:

• Individuals: Paste a list of names (one per line). They will be added to the 'Guests without assigned group' category. You can assign them to groups later.
• Groups (with AI): Paste a list of group names (e.g., 'Kowalski Family', 'Friends from College'). The app will create these groups and our AI will automatically suggest guest names for each group, saving you time.

Click the 'Import Guests' button to open the import window.

You can switch between two views using the toggle switch at the top of the list:

• Grouped View: The default view. Guests are organized into collapsible groups. This is ideal for managing families or other logical groupings. You can drag and drop guests between groups.
• Flat View: A simple, alphabetized list of all your guests. This view is useful for quickly finding a specific person or checking attendance statuses.

• Expand/Collapse: Click on a group's name or the arrow icon to show/hide its members. Use the 'Expand/Collapse All' button for quick access.
• Drag & Drop: Simply drag a guest's name and drop it onto another group's title to move them. The AI might suggest a new name for the group after the change.
• Group Actions: Hover over a group's name to see action icons:
  • Generate Group Invitation: Copies a unique RSVP link for the entire group to your clipboard.
  • Assign Template: Assign a specific invitation design to the whole group.
  • Generate QR Code: Opens a modal with a downloadable QR code for the group's invitation.
  • Add Guest: Quickly add a new person to this group.
  • Edit Name: Change the group's name.
  • Delete Group: Removes the group and all its members permanently.

In this simplified list, each guest has a set of quick actions:

• Toggle Confirmation Status: Click the checkmark or clock icon to update a guest's RSVP status.
• Generate Invitation: Copies a unique RSVP link for this specific guest.
• Edit Guest: Change the guest's first name, last name, or type (adult/child).
• Move to Group: Opens a window to move the guest to a different group.
• Delete Guest: Permanently removes the guest from your list.

In both views, individual guests have specific actions available through icons:

• Assign Template: Overrides the group's template and assigns a unique invitation design just for this guest.
• Generate QR Code: Creates a downloadable QR code for this guest's personal invitation link.

Click the 'Export' button to access several useful formats:

• Invitation List (TXT): A simple text file with all your group names. Useful for your invitation designer.
• Full Guest List (TXT): A text file with every single guest's full name.
• QR Codes (ZIP): A zip file containing a separate QR code image (PNG) for each group's invitation.
• Mail Merge Data (ZIP): The ultimate package for professional printing. This zip file includes all QR code images and a special 'print_merge.csv' file. This CSV is structured for use with mail merge features in software like CorelDRAW, allowing your print shop to automatically place the correct QR code on each corresponding invitation.

Main Screen: Overview and Template Selection

This is the first view that appears and is used to manage digital invitation templates.

'My Templates' Section

Your personal library of saved and personalized templates. Each template in this section offers the following actions:

• Preview and Edit: Clicking on a template thumbnail opens it in edit mode.
• Edit Name (pencil icon): Allows you to quickly change the name of a saved template.
• Set as Default (star icon): A template marked with a filled star (⭐) will be automatically assigned to newly created guest groups.
• Delete (trash icon): After confirmation, permanently deletes the template from your library.

'Blissaro Templates' Section

A collection of professionally designed, ready-to-use templates. Clicking on a thumbnail opens the selected template in the editor, where you can customize it and then save it as your own version in the 'My Templates' section.

'Publication Status' Card

This card at the bottom of the page informs you whether your page is currently Published (visible to guests with the link) or a Draft (visible only to you).

Invitation Editor Screen

After selecting a template, you proceed to the main editor, which consists of several key elements.

Top Toolbar

• 'Back to templates' button: Allows you to exit edit mode and return to the template selection screen.
• 'Preview' button: Opens a large, full-screen window with a preview of the final invitation version.
• 'Save' button: Available only when editing a template from the 'My Templates' section. It updates the current template with all the changes made.

Live Preview Panel (left side)

An interactive preview that automatically updates as you fill out the form.

Form Panel (middle column)

Here you personalize the content of the invitation. The fields are automatically generated based on special tags (e.g., {{brideName}}) in the template's code. For convenience, these fields are grouped thematically (e.g., Couple's Data, Ceremony, Reception).

AI Assistant Panel (right side)

A tool for modifying the appearance and layout of the template using text commands. Enter a command, e.g., 'Change the background color to light gray' or 'Enlarge all headings', and the AI will modify the template's code. The effect will be immediately visible in the live preview.

• 'Send' button: Sends your command to the AI for analysis.
• 'Clear' button: Deletes the conversation history with the AI Assistant.

1. First Steps: Creating an Album

When you first enter this section, you'll see a welcome screen encouraging you to create an album.

• 'Create Your Album' Button: Clicking this button opens a modal window (pop-up) with a form where you configure the basic parameters of the album.

Options in the Creation Form

• Allow Videos: A simple toggle (Yes/No) that decides whether guests can upload video files.
• Allow Comments: Enables or disables the ability for guests to add comments under photos.

• Max File Size (MB): Sets the size limit for a single photo or video.

2. Main Management Dashboard

Once the album is created, this view becomes your command center. You'll find everything you need to manage your gallery here.

Header and Quick Actions

• 'Settings' Button: Opens the same window you saw when creating the album, allowing you to edit all its parameters at any time.

Statistics

Below the header, there's a section with dynamically updated numbers that give you a quick overview of the album's activity:

• Number of videos
• Date of the last file upload

File Upload Panel

The 'drag and drop' area allows for bulk uploading of photos and videos. After dragging the files, you will see a detailed progress bar for each file and the overall progress of the entire queue.

Tag Management and Filtering

• Filter by tags: A dropdown list from which you can select one or more tags to display only the matching photos.
• 'Apply Time Tags' Button: If you didn't enable automatic tagging initially or added photos taken before setting the ceremony times, this button will analyze all photos and assign the appropriate time tags.

3. Photo Gallery Management
