Adding more pictures to a photobook in progress.

New Here ,
Sep 09, 2025 Sep 09, 2025

I am nearly finished making a photobook, but now I need to add an extra picture. I import it to the library and it sits there, I can use Develop on it,  but I cannot get it to appear in the photobook - even if I designate it a cover page in the Library!

Deleting is easy but how do I add an extra picture to a photobook in progress? 

There are hours of work involved already, so I don't want to just clear the book and start again as each page always needs a lot of manual adjustment and captioning!

A photo book is a special kind of collection. Drag & drop the image from the 'All Photographs' Library grid (or any other grid that shows it) to the book collection.

Many thanks! I'll try that.

Yes, it adds the picture to the Collection for that book, but not to the sub-folder containing the formatted book. It doesn't seem to allow pictures to be added to that, even if that is displayed in the library module. Going back up to the Collection for that book means starting all the formatting again from scratch, but with the extra photo now in there.

It's a long time ago I made a book in Lightroom Classic, and as I type this on my iPad I can't try it now. Maybe this helps:
