Here's a list of what's new in Legacy Yearbooks software this season!
New Face Matching!
We've replaced our Face Matching with a new, more sophisticated engine powered by Amazon. Photo tagging in Yearbook Pro is faster, more accurate, and easier to use than ever before.
Student Shield, Privacy & Security
A new Student Shield feature, accessible on the Portraits tab, uses Face Matching technology to allow students to be opted out of the book, placing them in a Protected folder. Legacy Yearbooks is also scheduled to complete SOC 2 certification in February. This will benefit our customers and your schools with the gold standard in cybersecurity.
New Templates & Content!
A wide variety of new content will get your yearbook designers excited! The update includes 15 new Style sets with designs for EL, MS, and HS — with an exclusive set of new High School designs from Dell Burgess, Mr. Yearbook! You’ll also see a new set of templates in all categories, including over 100 built-in portrait layouts!
Background Removal
Brand-new, fast, one-click Background Removal allows you to easily remove the backgrounds from your images, opening up great design possibilities! You can find it on the Candids page toolbar.
History Feature
A new History feature available on the ladder allows you to revert any page back to a previously saved version. You now have a complete history of every page in your book, and nothing is ever lost.
New Image & Text Warnings
New, more advanced and intuitive warnings for low-resolution images, text clipping, and text overruns are available on the Editing page. They provide interactive detail and tips on how to maximize the quality of your designs.
Support, Sales & Marketing Materials
We’ve added a complete Sales, Marketing, and Support Kit — including printable flyers and posters, plus a new set of Tutorial Videos. We’re also offering dedicated training sessions for all Legacy Yearbooks customers!
New Admin Dashboard
This year, you’ll immediately notice a brand-new Admin Dashboard for Yearbook Pro, for management of all your schools. These pages contain all the features you’re familiar with, in a new, simplified, easy-to-navigate layout.
A brand-new Production Interface is available in Admin for Legacy Yearbooks print-integrated customers, delivering real-time visibility into production, plus detailed shipping and tracking information to your admins and advisers.
Multiple Languages!
Legacy Yearbooks software is now available in French, German, and Spanish, in addition to English — with more languages on the way. Legacy Yearbooks is already hosting sites internationally at AWS in several markets. Talk to us about your international yearbook needs!
Google Drive
An exciting update to the Google Drive integration allows you to view and navigate through your folders, and then select individual photos to copy into the software.
Double-Click to Edit!
You can now double-click on a section in the ladder to open it in the Editor.
Thank you again for using Legacy Yearbooks, and have a wonderful 2025-26 school year.
