Creating galleries
What is the difference between a proof gallery and a download gallery?
A proof gallery is the full review workflow: clients browse, select favorites, reject others, and submit an approval. A download gallery is download-only — clients view the final images and download individually or as a ZIP. No selection or approval step.
How do I create a new gallery?
Click "New Proof" or "New Delivery" in the sidebar. You can also drop files directly into the Workspace — a draft gallery is created automatically from the first file.
What gallery settings can I configure?
Title, client name and email, selection mode (approve/reject/unset), minimum and maximum selections, expiry date, password protection, client registration, identity preference, right-click protection, approval message, and branding overrides (logo, accent color, theme).
What are gallery statuses?
Draft (not yet shared), Sent (invitation sent), Opened (client viewed), Approved (selections finalized), Expired (past expiry date), and Delivered (final files shared). The lifecycle moves forward: Draft to Sent to Opened to Approved to Delivered.
Can I set an expiry date on a gallery?
Yes. Set any date or use the default (60 days). After expiry, clients see an "expired" notice and can no longer access the gallery. You can change or remove the expiry at any time before it triggers.
Can I duplicate a gallery?
Yes. From the Gallery Overview, duplicate the gallery. It creates a new draft with the same settings and images but a fresh token and status.
What is the Workspace?
An upload-first gallery creation flow. Drop files anywhere on the gallery list page and a draft gallery is created automatically. The title is inferred from file or folder names. Edit settings after uploading.
