Setup

Step 1 – Create or Edit a Gallery

First you’ll need to either create a new gallery or edit an existing gallery. If you need any help creating your first gallery, please review our documentation here.

Step 2 – Filtering Your Gallery Images

Next, on the Gallery Tab you’ll see an input box called filter.

This is a smart search box. As you type the title to your image, Envira will automatically scan your gallery image titles and begin to pull up any images that meet this criteria.

And that’s it! This filter (or search) box will allow you to quickly find images in your gallery by title so that you can easily add any additional metadata for your image instead of having to scroll through all the images in your gallery.
