I have a number of galleries, each showing one image but containing a folder of 3 or 4 images of the same piece. These work well but I can’t work out how to get the Caption/Description and Author to show in the Lightbox. Have asked the Elements bot but no answer there. Thanks, Steve PS Love the new Tabs component. Brilliant work, guys!🙏 ![Screenshot 2026-02-05 at 12.10.21](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/d/e/de56300604f88c65ee6e1bbc924f8ec8db490a32.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-02-05 at 12.11.25](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/7/17149bf61042eece32a62bbb4e82c1c6c4b55409.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-02-05 at 12.10.38](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/7/574800a42f0549a31747cc1392157b2187449693.jpeg) ---

Agree that cation would be a very useful additional option for the Lightbox ---

We’re very close to shipping a new **Gallery Pro** component. It’s designed specifically for advanced users who need finer control over layout, metadata, and lightbox behaviour. From what you’ve described, it should cover exactly this use case. It’s on track to be available very soon, likely later this month. ---

No - I’d just like my zoomed image to carry a descriptive caption or a title ---

Can you put your label/ description and image into a container and then use transform to make the image and container zoom to larger size such as say, hovering over it? ---

Always ask that way you get an answer, not asking leaves your brain in limb! So be as specific as you can.! Then @dan will say “yes of course this is the title you want” Feel the force, don’t fight it!
