Hi I run /porfolio, a manufacturer of cosmetics. Every week I fotograph new developments and put them in a Gallery page. How can I change this and use CMS. My dream would be that the gallery with CMS can be updated without accessing ELEMENTS, filterable and searchable. If clicked the image, the lightbox would also permit to show the tags and cathegory of the pics. Also I have now a folder of 100 pics of products. Can AI make the productxy.md file, with the tags, categories and picture? ---

There’s probably a few different ways you could do this… you could setup a collection for the gallery page, and put an image component in it that pulls from the CMS. Something like this: ![CleanShot 2026-06-01 at 10 .03.20@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/e/eed8675626e82f6cc0218ae3c364b9d732e91a88.jpeg) It’s just using the standard Image component with the lightbox feature switched on. Hope that males sense, and do let me know if you have any other questions 🙂
