Six rows. How hard the app pushes while it catalogs.

Batch size is the number of images the Assistant tags in one call. Larger batches move faster and spend credits in bigger chunks. If you're running on plan credits rather than your own Anthropic key, the app quietly caps each call at 3 images before the run starts and writes a line in the job log saying so. That cap is applied here in the app, not on our server. Bring your own key in Chapter 08 and your chosen batch size is used as set.

DEFAULT DENSITY decides how the Jobs grid in CATALOG opens. Two choices only, Compact and List. Override it for a single session from the VIEW menu in the brown menu bar at the top of the screen.

CATALOG SYNC isn't a folder refresh. It compares what your local catalog claims it has uploaded against what's really in your workspace bucket, and resets the rows that drifted so the next backfill picks them up. The button walks through ⟳ RE-SYNC FROM CLOUD, ⟳ RE-SYNCING…, then ✓ IN SYNC in green. Use it when what you see looks behind your other devices.

LOCATIONS is one list of the places you work. The Assistant draws on it for captions and local copy, and it appears as a dropdown when you catalog each wedding so your tagging stays consistent. The chip wall suggests common regions and takes anything you type.
