Gallery Pages in Squarespace are designed to showcase images and videos with attractive layouts. Here's how to create and manage them effectively:

Adding a Gallery Page

1. Click Pages in the Home menu
2. Click + and select Gallery
3. Upload up to 250 images or videos per page

Adding Content

Images:

• Click + in sidebar and select Upload Image
• Drag and drop files into the empty sidebar box
• Click empty box to use file manager
• Search existing images via Search Images option

Videos:

1. Click + in sidebar and select Add Video
2. Add content via:
   • Direct URL from YouTube/Vimeo
   • HTML embed code for advanced options

Managing Content

Image Settings:

• Add titles (max 200 characters) and descriptions
• Set publication status (Published/Draft/Review/Scheduled)
• Add categories and tags for organization
• Add thumbnail overlays for videos

Organizing Gallery:

• Drag images to reorder
• Move content between galleries
• Delete images by selecting and clicking Remove
• Replace images while keeping metadata

Tips for Better Galleries

1. Check image format guidelines before uploading
2. First image becomes featured image automatically
3. Add titles for better SEO (becomes alt text)
4. Use categories/tags to group content
5. Consider video thumbnails for better engagement

Display Options

Use these blocks to showcase gallery content elsewhere:

• Gallery Block (Carousel/Grid/Slideshow/Column views)
• Summary Block (Board/Carousel/List/Grid views)
• Content Link Block (Visual links with thumbnails)

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

• Can't add blocks: Gallery pages only support images/videos
• Different appearance in URL: Check for Index Page format (/#/)
• Automatic locations: Check business information settings
• Auto-populated video info: Edit manually in video settings

The gallery design and layout options depend on your template. For specific style options, refer to template documentation.
