How to use the refresh button in the photo editing menu

It is important to keep track of the photos that you have already placed on your pages so that you don't use the same photo on more than one page.  In our photo editing menu, if you have used a photo in youryearbook, it will have a blue border and it will say "Used in Book".  
 
 
Example: 1
Insert a photo that has not yet been used in the book.
 
 
After you "Save" your page; click on the  Refresh button, and the image will be labeled "Used in Book".
