If you don't have a Gallery page or section yet, follow these instructions to add a new page or section to your site! Once you've got your gallery page or section added, use the following steps to edit your gallery:

Getting started:

1. Log into your B12 editor and navigate to the page with your gallery section.

Tip: If you have a Gallery page, you can find it by typing Gallery in the search bar above Pages. 

2. Select the gallery section:

Once on the right page, select your gallery section on the lefthand editing panel or by clicking directly into the section.


3. Edit your section text

You can follow these instructions to edit the Title, Subtitle, and Paragraph text that appears above your image gallery.

Add gallery items:

After completing steps one through three, you're ready to start populating your gallery. You can do so by:

1. In the Lefthand editing panel, click Add new gallery item.

2. Select an existing image or video from your library or upload your own.

  • To use an image or video you have already uploaded, scroll through your library, click the image that you'd like to use, and then click Continue.

Note: Videos have a small camera icon in the lower right corner.


  • To use an image or video you own but have not uploaded, click Upload media, then select the image file from your computer, and click Continue.

Note, the maximum file upload size is 75MB. See this article for recommended image and video formats.

  • To use a stock image from B12's built-in link to Unsplash, click Search, search for an image by keyword, select an image, then click Continue.

Remove a Gallery item:

To remove an image or video from your Gallery, just click the next to the item in your list of Gallery items.

Tip: You can add this Gallery item back later by clicking Add existing gallery items!

Optional edits:

Edit the title or caption of your image.

To edit the title or caption of your image or video, you:

1. Click your new image or video in your Gallery items list to edit it.

2. Edit the title and/or subtitle text.

3. The result will be something like this:

 

Note, depending on the section style you're using, the gallery items' titles and subtitles may not be visible. You can always update the section style if you'd like that displayed.
