Updating Your Flickr and Facebook Albums
As your Flickr and Facebook albums grow, you can publish them at any time. Aperture checks
to see which photo versions have already been published in the album and then uploads any
version that has changed and any new versions. If you’re not sure if a Flickr or Facebook album is
up to date or you just want to check your Flickr or Facebook page, you can visit your published
Facebook album or Flickr set from within Aperture.
