What about connected / panoramic art?
BinderBloom automatically detects cards that form connected panoramic artwork (like illustration rare evolution lines) and places them next to each other in your layout. This works for both English and Japanese cards.
Can I track which cards I own?
Yes! In the arrange view, hover over any card and click the eye icon in the top-left corner to mark it as not owned. Unowned cards appear greyed out and desaturated so you can see at a glance what you still need. This is saved with your binder and also visible on shared links.
