# Share your booking page

> Print a QR code poster for walk-ins, post your schedule image to Instagram, and install your booking page as an app (add to home screen).

Who can do this: admins only.

Share your [booking page](/docs/booking-links) with a printed QR poster, a schedule image for social media, or a home-screen app.

## Print a QR poster

The poster is a printable A4 sheet with a QR code that opens your booking page, for walk-ins to scan.

<Steps>
<Step>Open [Booking page](/go/admin/appearance) on a computer and choose the **Poster** tab above the preview.</Step>
<Step>Optionally add a title and subtitle. They aren't saved, so set them just before printing.</Step>
<Step>Print from your browser or save a PDF. Set margins to "None", and turn on "Background graphics" if your brand colours are missing.</Step>
</Steps>

The poster uses your logo, page background and header banner (**Show header image** appears only when the banner is a photo). On the Dark theme it prints dark. For your own flyer or social post, press **Download QR code** to get just the code.

## Share your week as an image

Session draws your live [schedule](/docs/repeat-schedules) as a branded image for Instagram or Facebook.

<Steps>
<Step>Open [Sessions](/go/admin/sessions) and press **Share**, above your schedule.</Step>
<Step>Under **Range**, pick **Week** or **Day**. A week runs seven days from **Start**, which can be up to eight weeks ahead.</Step>
<Step>On a phone, press **Share** to open your share sheet with the image ready; the caption is copied to your clipboard. On a computer, press **Download** for a PNG.</Step>
<Step>Instagram doesn't take the caption from the share sheet, so paste it in.</Step>
</Steps>

### What the card shows

- Sessions grouped into **Morning**, **Afternoon** and **Evening**, in your venue's timezone and clock. A band empty all week is left off.
- Full sessions struck through, and closed days shown as dashes. No count of spaces left.
- No sessions that are unlisted, archived, [hidden](/docs/session-visibility), cancelled, or past their [booking window](/docs/booking-window).

The week card has no session names. The **Day** card shows each session's start time, name, length, and **Full** or **Limited** (most spaces gone). Names show when the day has more than one kind of session; **Show session names** overrides that.

### Adjust the look

- **Format** - **Post** (4:5) or **Story**.
- **Location** - with more than one site, pick one and choose whether to **Show the location name**.
- **Show your company name** and **Include your logo**. A transparent logo gets a circle behind it, coloured by **Background** under **Logo** on [Booking page](/go/admin/appearance).
- **Background** - your brand colour by default, or **Dark**. Over your own photo, use **Transparent, dark text** on a bright photo or **Tinted, light text** on most others.

## Install as an app

Your booking page can be added to a phone's home screen. There are two apps: the **customer** booking page, and an **admin** app for you and your staff. The name under the icon is your **Short name** (up to 12 characters) from **Links** on [Booking page](/go/admin/appearance), or your venue name.

### Customer app

On **iPhone or iPad**, open your booking page in Safari, tap **Share**, then **Add to Home Screen**, and tap **Add**. On **Android (Chrome)**, tap the three-dot menu, then **Add to Home screen** or **Install app**.

### Admin app

On a phone or tablet, open the Session menu (top-left) and tap **Install the app** at the bottom (on a landscape tablet, it's the phone icon in the strip down the left). Android installs it straight away; iPhone shows the two taps to finish in Safari.

You can also follow the customer steps from an admin page while signed in, such as [Bookings](/go/admin/home). The admin app has its own badged icon, opens to Bookings, and rotates with your tablet for a front desk; the customer app stays portrait.

## Common questions

1. **Why is a day empty on my schedule card?** The session is most likely unlisted, hidden or past its booking window. If the whole card is empty, move **Start** to the week your sessions are in.

2. **Instagram isn't in my phone's share sheet.** Press **Share** on the card itself, not a link. If Instagram still doesn't appear, scroll the apps to the end and press **More** to switch it on.

3. **The image didn't change after I edited a setting.** Wait a second for it to rebuild before sharing.

4. **An installed app is stuck loading or shows an old version.** Open **`bookasession.org/sw-reset`** in a browser to clear the saved app data.
