Currently, it is not possible to add multiple images / videos to the expand mode of a gallery item. For example, you cannot display different angles of a painting inside the expand mode. If this is something you would like to see in the future, vote for that feature.

Currently, it is not possible to adjust the size or placement of elements such as text boxes and gallery items in the expand mode of your gallery. If this is something you would like to see in the future, vote for that feature.

Currently, you can only change the color of navigation arrows in the expand mode to be the same as other expand mode icons.

Currently, clicking the back button on your browser tab returns you to the previous page you visited, and not the main gallery view. If this is something you would like to see in the future, vote for that feature.

Tip: To close the expand mode, click the Exit icon

Currently, it is not possible to adjust the text direction in the expand mode of your pro gallery to be RTL (right-to-left). The default text direction is LTR (left-to-right). If this is something you would like to see in the future, vote for that feature.

On mobile, there are no navigation arrows in the expanded view. Instead, visitors swipe the screen to view the next gallery item.

The design of the Full Screen view is controlled by the expand mode settings. To edit the Full Screen view of a gallery item, you must edit the expand mode settings as described above.

No. Currently, it is not possible to set your gallery items to loop in the expand mode. When a visitor reaches the last item, they need to use the navigation arrows to click back through the gallery to get to the beginning.
