# Navigating the App

ALIVE is organized to keep things simple. Here's a quick map so you always know where you are and where to find what you need.

---

## Main Tabs

When you open the app, you'll see the main navigation at the bottom of the screen:

### Events

The main screen showing your events list. This is where you see all your events, create new ones, and jump into an event to go live. Think of it as mission control. Each event has its own gallery, which you can access from within the event.

### Templates

Your template library. Browse, preview, and manage all your photo templates here. Templates control the layout, design, and aspect ratio of your captured photos.

### Effects

The AI effects library. Browse and manage all available AI effects that guests can apply to their photos after capture.

### Settings

All app configuration lives here — capture settings, printing, sharing, account management, device configuration, and more. If you're looking for a toggle or option, it's probably here.

## Inside an Event

When you tap into a specific event, you'll find:

* **Event Details** — Title, subtitle, cover image (tap the three dots ⋯ on the event card to edit)
* **Gallery** — View all photos and videos captured during this event
* **Go Live** — Start the booth for this event
* **Statistics** — View capture and sharing stats for the event

|| Templates, effects, and sharing are configured **globally** — not per event. Use the **Templates**, **Effects**, and **Settings** tabs to configure them.

---

## Guest-Facing Screens

When the booth is live, guests move through three screens:

* **Attraction screen** — The idle/welcome screen guests see when they approach the booth. They browse available effects and templates here.
* **Capture screen** — Where photos are actually taken, with the camera preview and countdown.
* **Share screen** — Where guests see their final results with the effect and template applied, and can share or print.

---

## The Attraction Screen

The attraction screen is the main idle screen of the event — what guests see when they first approach the booth. It displays the effects and templates available for the event, letting guests browse and pick a style before moving on to take their photo.

---

## The Capture Screen

Once a guest starts a session, the capture screen takes over the full display. This is where photos are taken:

1. **Camera preview** — Real-time view from the camera
2. **Countdown** — Visual countdown before each photo
3. **Flash effect** — Quick white flash between shots

| To exit the capture screen, tap the **back button** or enter your **exit password** if you've set one up. This prevents guests from accidentally (or intentionally) leaving the booth.

---

## The Share Screen

After photos are captured, guests land on the share screen where they can:

* View their photos with the applied template and AI effect
* Share via QR, SMS, email, or native share
* Print their photos

* Use **Settings** as your go-to for any configuration changes
