Gallery settings

Configure a gallery from the Gallery settings dialog.

Every gallery is configured from one place. Select the gallery section in the builder, then Adjust gallery, and the Gallery settings dialog opens with six panels down its left side.

The Gallery settings dialog, with its six panels down the left.

The panels

Panel	Decides
Display mode	How the assets are grouped, and what the rest of the dialog then offers.
Source	Which assets the gallery draws from, and how that set is narrowed.
View options	How they're arranged on screen, and which controls visitors get.
Metadata	Which asset fields visitors can read in the asset details view.
Thumbnail metadata	Which fields print on the thumbnails themselves.
Filters	What visitors can narrow the gallery by.

Working in the dialog

1. Select the gallery section in the builder.

2. Select Adjust gallery.

3. Choose a panel on the left and change what you need.

4. Select Save. Cancel closes without keeping anything.

5. Select Publish changes to make it live.

Save only records the change in your draft. Nothing reaches visitors until you select Publish changes.

Start with the display mode

Display mode is worth settling first. It decides how the assets are grouped, and in doing so changes what Source asks you for and which of the view options apply. Switching it later clears the source you'd chosen.
