- This guide covers what to consider before you choose a gallery version and the feature differences between the new Beta gallery and its old counterpart.
Before you begin
There are two important things to know before you choose a gallery version.
- The new gallery is in beta – which means our team is still working on it. The Beta photo gallery has powerful new features such as faster loading, added flexibility to arrange caption content, fullscreen preview of submissions, and a mobile-first experience. But not all features we want to include exist in the new beta version at the moment.
- Gallery version is a permanent choice - After choosing a gallery version in your campaign, you can’t revert to the other version. So take your time and ensure that you’re happy with your choice before you click "Create a gallery". Keep in mind that you will have to start over with a new upload campaign if you change your mind afterwards.
