Common Questions
Feel free to change your mind! You can switch between colour themes as many times as you like while you're working on your book. There's no limit, and it won't affect your content or layout.
While you can change themes anytime, we recommend settling on your final choice before you're ready to print. This way, you can see exactly how your finished book will look and make any final adjustments to photo placement or chapter organisation.
Remember, there's no wrong choice here. Each theme has been designed to make your family's stories look their absolute best. You can always preview each option and even switch back if you change your mind.
