Editing lists
You can reach the "Lists" page from the header by clicking on the profile icon:
1. Login and sign up

On the lists page

You will find the options for editing the list in the dropdown that appears by clicking on the Edit link.
The following options are available in the dropdown menu:

- Copy link to list: copies the URL of the list to the clipboard for sharing
- Add photos: navigates to the Photos page, where from the gallery view you can add photos to the list

Embedding lists
Just like content on video-sharing platforms, the lists created on Fortepan can be embedded in the form of a unique gallery on any other website.
Example of an embedded list:
In this guide we only show you how to generate the embed code.
For embedding lists on other websites, you will need access to the content administration tool or source code of that particular website. If you would like to embed lists on your page, and you're not sure how to do it, please contact your website's developer for assistance.
Embedding steps:
1. To generate the embed code select the Embed list option from the edit list dropdown.
2. In the appearing window you can adjust the dimensions of the embedded gallery (width, height, aspect ratio, etc.)
3. When you're done with setting up the right dimensions, click on the Copy embed code button which will copy the code to the clipboard. You can then paste the code directly into your website's content administration tool or source code. (If you're not sure how to do this, please contact your website's developer for assistance.)
We hope you find both the lists and embed features useful. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
