Galleries and visibility
Use galleries to give each project, trip, campaign, wedding, or series its own ordered page and shareable address.
Gallery basics
A gallery has its own name, URL, description, visibility, header treatment, portfolio thumbnail, photo layout, and ordered set of photographs. Use one gallery for one body of work rather than treating galleries as folders for every upload.
Photos live in the reusable Photos library. Adding a photo to a gallery does not create another upload, and removing it from a gallery does not delete it from the library.
Visibility choices
Included in the portfolio gallery index after publishing, provided it contains at least one Public, Ready photo. The direct gallery URL also works.
Published at its direct URL but omitted from portfolio navigation and search indexing. The link itself is not a secret.
Kept in Studio and excluded from the next publish.
Changing a gallery to Public, Unlisted, or Draft updates the Studio draft. Publish the portfolio before the public site changes.
Create a gallery
- 01Open GalleriesIn Studio, open Galleries and select New gallery.
- 02Name the galleryUse the title viewers should see, such as Northern coast or Winter portraits. Add a short description when it gives the series useful context.
- 03Choose the Gallery URLUse a short readable slug. Studio shows the normalized path before saving.
- 04Set VisibilityChoose Public for the portfolio index, Unlisted for direct-link sharing, or Draft while the work is being prepared.
- 05Create the gallerySave it, add existing library photos or upload new ones, then arrange their sequence.
Good gallery URLs
The slug becomes the path after the portfolio domain: username.iso100.photos/northern-coast. It is public-facing copy, so write it for a person rather than an internal filing system.
- Use short, readable slugs such as belfast-street-art or portraits-2026.
- Use lowercase words separated by hyphens. Studio normalizes the value and checks it before saving.
- Avoid internal client codes unless that is the name viewers expect.
- Do not use paths that conflict with ISO100 utility pages.
- If a shared gallery URL changes, publish again and update any important links you control.
Changing a gallery slug changes its public path after the next publish. ISO100 keeps the gallery's internal identity, but you should not rely on every old external link continuing to work.
Add, remove, and arrange photos
- 01Add photosOpen a gallery and select Add photos. Choose Upload for new files or Photo library to reuse existing uploads.
- 02Make intended photos PublicOpen each photo and enable Public, or use Select in Photos for a batch visibility change. Only Public, Ready photos can appear in a publish.
- 03Set the sequenceUse Reorder in the gallery. Drag photos into position, or use Move photo left and Move photo right. Load all gallery photos before attempting a complete reorder.
- 04Remove without deletingUse Select in the gallery and Remove. The photos stay in the Photos library and in any other galleries.
Change visibility or remove a gallery
- 01Hide a gallery without deleting itOpen Gallery details, set Visibility to Draft, and save. Publish changes to remove it from the public site while keeping the gallery editable in Studio.
- 02Keep it link-onlySet Visibility to Unlisted, save, and publish. Test the direct URL in the preview before sharing it.
- 03Delete the galleryIn Gallery details, select Delete gallery and confirm. The gallery is removed from Studio; its photos remain in the Photos library.
- 04Update the public siteAfter hiding or deleting a live gallery, publish changes. Until then, the last successful live version can still contain the gallery.
