Tips and Tricks

  • Choose related images : Ensure that each image supports the message you want to express. Select images that are cohesive and fit the overall theme to help users understand your content.
  • Consider the Media Grid: If you do not need to include headers or captions, consider using the Media Grid Block, which is designed to display images only. The Media Grid is also a great choice if you prefer a simpler, non-interactive grid layout.
