About the Image Gallery Widget
Display multiple images on your community homepage or a group page without excessive scrolling or pagination. This visual display allows for full use of the page and then links out to comments and additional information. It also includes a companion widget that enables you to upload multiple images at one time with a checkbox feature that saves you from having to upload each of your images individually.
