The **Gallery** section displays a grid of images and captions in an Instagram feed-like way. It's great for curating your actual social media posts while having total control over how they're presented..
## Set up section
Add this section to any template (except Checkout) and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.
