Add media to a gallery
Populate portfolio galleries with curated media on ArtInStack.
Add photos and videos from Media into a Portfolio collection. Reorder items to control presentation sequence on the public gallery view — sequence matters when you are telling a story or leading a client through proofing favorites in order.
Prerequisites
Dashboard → Portfolio → select collection → Add media
What you're looking at
Collection editor: media grid, drag handles for reorder, remove action per item.
Add media modal: Media library picker with multi-select.
Implementation steps
- Open Portfolio and select your collection.
- Click Add media to open the Media picker.
- Select multiple files and confirm addition.
- Drag items to reorder the gallery sequence.
- Remove any test or duplicate images.
- Set per-image captions when your theme supports them.
- Save the collection and preview the gallery link or embedded page block.
What you'll see
The portfolio shows curated items in your chosen order, ready for sharing or embedding on a page.
Removing items versus deleting files
Removing media from a portfolio does not delete the file from Media — the original stays in your library for other uses. Very large galleries may load slowly; split by event or deliver in chapters if clients struggle on mobile.
Verifying your setup
- At least three items added to the portfolio.
- Order reflects your intended presentation.
- Collection saved without errors.
