Gallery sections

Give one gallery a sequence of chapters, with optional text and a layout for each group of photographs.

What sections add

With Plus, divide a gallery into groups of photographs. Each section can have a heading, an introduction, and its own layout. Keep the gallery default for a consistent sequence, or vary the presentation to give selected photographs more space.

For example, introduce a location with a short paragraph, follow it with a grid of details, and use Full-screen for photographs you want visitors to view one at a time.

When you show this gallery’s photos on your homepage, its sections appear together under Photographs. Move Photographs as a group in Homepage → Content.

Add and edit a section

  1. Open your gallery’s Photos tab

    Choose Add section. On Free, Explore Plus opens the plan page.

  2. Choose the photographs

    In the section editor’s Photos tab, add photos and arrange their order.

  3. Set the text and layout

    Open Settings to add an optional heading and introduction. Keep Use gallery default or choose a layout for this section.

  4. Preview and save

    Check Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile in the preview. On a phone, open the Preview tab. Choose Save section to keep your edits, then publish separately to update the live gallery.

Keep the photographs in focus

Use headings when they help visitors follow the work. An introduction can explain a change of place, subject, or time; it does not need to describe every photograph.

Check the sequence at different widths. The preview can omit draft or other photos that are not eligible for publication. Opening photos is a label used in Studio, not a heading added to your public gallery.

Free and Plus

Adding and arranging photographs is available on Free. Creating more sections and editing section text and layouts requires Plus.

If you move to Free, your section designs remain saved in Studio. Free publishes the gallery as one photo grid.

Open Studio to make the change.
