Galleries are like a folder of assets within a kit. When you create a gallery you can choose between manual and dynamic - here's how they differ.
Manual galleries
You hand-pick which specific assets appear.
Best for:
Curated collections of specific assets
Small, fixed sets of assets
When you want complete control over which assets are included
How they work:
Open a manual gallery and choose "Add Assets"
Add or remove assets manually as needed
Dynamic galleries
Assets are pulled automatically from a saved view in your Library. The gallery updates whenever the saved view's contents change.
Best for:
Large collections that change frequently
Keeping kits automatically up to date via metadata
Getting assets into kits based on tags, custom fields, or other filters
How they work:
Create a saved view in your Library with the filters you want
Link the dynamic gallery to that saved view
Assets matching the saved view's criteria automatically appear
Add new assets to your Library with the right tags/fields, and they show up in the gallery

Which should I use?
Use manual when you need precise control over which specific assets are included, or when you're working with a small, stable set of assets.
Use dynamic when you want galleries to stay current automatically, or when you're working with large collections organized by tags or custom fields.
