A gallery I created by pasting a folder link looks different from one I inserted from the macro browser

#Why it happens

Inserting from the macro browser applies Capable's nicer starting styles (corner radius 8, gap 16, small shadow), plus any brand guidelines set for your site. A pasted link doesn't get them.

#What to do

Open the pasted gallery's Style tab and set the values you want. A pasted link can't pick up the starting styles automatically.

On the Style tab, look at Gap, Corner radius and Shadow. These are the settings that differ between a pasted gallery and one inserted from the macro browser.

  • Folders are flat. You can't create a folder inside another folder.
