# Gallery Opt-In

The **Gallery Opt-In** card acts as a status indicator to help you understand whether guests will be asked if they want their photo added to your public event gallery.

Whether this prompt appears during a guest's session is determined entirely by your [**Gallery Privacy Level**](/gallery-design/basic-gallery-settings/gallery-privacy-options.md)**.**

***

#### How it Works

Participants start the session and take their photos. They then advance to an edit screen where they can retake their picture or apply optional edit tools. Once they advance off the edit screen, the app checks your gallery's privacy level to determine whether to show the Opt-In Prompt before taking participants to the sharing page. 

| Gallery Privacy Level  | Opt-In Prompt Visibility                                                                                          | Picture Visibility                                                                                                                                                                 |

| **Public or Unlisted** | The opt-in prompt is presented after [editing](/copy-of-halo-app/experience-designer/post-capture/edit-tools.md). | <ul><li><strong>Opt-In:</strong> the photo is visible in the gallery.  </li><li><strong>Opt-Out</strong>: The photo uploads but remains hidden from the public gallery. </li></ul> |
| **Private**            | The opt-in prompt is not shown.                                                                                   | All photos are automatically and permanently marked as private and will never appear in a public-facing gallery.                                                                   |

You can view all picture taken at your event regardless of the privacy status, as long as you are signed into your Simple Booth account.&#x20;

#### Configuring the Opt-In

The Gallery Opt-In card in the Experience Designer is a **visual representation only**. You cannot toggle the prompt on or off directly from this section of the settings.

To change whether the opt-in is displayed, you must adjust the privacy settings of the gallery linked to your preset:

1. Navigate to the [**General Settings**](/copy-of-halo-app/basic-setup/main-preset-settings.md#general-settings) section of your preset settings.
2. Find the paired gallery and use the **Actions** dropdown menu to choose the **edit** option.&#x20;
3. Adjust the [**Privacy**](/gallery-design/basic-gallery-settings/gallery-privacy-options.md) setting to Public, Unlisted, or Private.
4. The Gallery Opt-In card in your Experience Designer will update to reflect this change.
