Using Saved Views in Dynamic Galleries

Connect saved views to Galleries for automatically updating Asset collections.

Saved views aren't just for browsing the Library—they can also power dynamic Galleries in your Kits. When you link a saved view to a Gallery, the Gallery automatically displays all Assets matching that view's criteria.

How it works

A dynamic Gallery pulls Assets based on filter criteria rather than manual selection.

Note: Saved views only store filters—not search queries or sort order. Dynamic Galleries display matching Assets in the Gallery's own sort order.

When you connect a saved view:

  1. The Gallery displays all Assets matching the saved view's filters

  2. When new Assets are added to the Library that match the criteria, they appear in the Gallery automatically

  3. When Assets no longer match (e.g., status changes), they're removed from the Gallery

This keeps your Kits current without manual updates.

Creating a dynamic Gallery from a saved view

  1. Open a Kit and navigate to the Page where you want the Gallery

  2. Add a new Gallery

  3. Choose Dynamic as the Gallery type

  4. Select a saved view from the dropdown

  5. The Gallery populates with matching Assets

Use cases

Always-current brand assets

Create a saved view for "Status = Approved" and has the "Brand" tag. When connected to a dynamic Gallery in your brand guidelines Kit. As Assets get approved and tagged with "Brand," they appear automatically.

Project-specific content

Save a view filtering by a project tag or custom field. The Gallery in your project Kit stays updated as new Assets are tagged.

File type collections

Create views for specific file types ("All SVG Icons," "All Videos") and use them in Galleries to maintain organized collections.

Expiration tracking

A view for "Expiring within 30 days" linked to a Gallery helps teams see what needs attention.

Updating the connection

If you update a saved view's filters, Galleries using that view update automatically to reflect the new criteria.

To change which saved view a Gallery uses:

  1. Select the Gallery in your Kit

  2. Open the Gallery settings

  3. Choose a different saved view

  4. The Gallery repopulates with the new view's Assets

Best practices

  • Name views clearly: Since views appear in a dropdown when creating Galleries, clear names help Kit editors choose correctly

  • Test before publishing: Preview the Gallery to ensure it shows what you expect

  • Consider the audience: Dynamic Galleries are great for evolving content, but manual Galleries offer more control over presentation
