Telling the story behind the moments you capture is where the magic is! Use this section to share what a moment means to you, or why it is special. It’s these stories that bring your posts to life!
Don’t have time to complete your post? No problem. Simply press “Save Draft” and you can finish it later. Your post will be waiting for you in the “Drafts” section of your Legacy.
Your Legacy
This is where the content you create lives. It is organized by the date of the moments and memories that you have added to it.
When others visit your Legacy, they will ONLY see the content that they have the permissions to view. This way everyone has their own unique view of your Legacy based upon what you have specifically chosen to share with them.
Your Orbit
In life, we all have people that make up our universe - inside Transcend, we call this your “Orbit.” You can organize your connections by Orbit, and make sharing content with specific groups easy.
