   • Select how many images to display per page, the choice range is 5 - 200 inclusive, or you can show all images. If there is a large number of images, displaying them all will increase the time it takes to load them every time someone views them. 
   • Choose if you want to display all of the caption text. 
   • Choose if you want to hide the caption text or display it at the top or bottom of the gallery. 
   • You can control if and how gallery images are resized. The 'Screen' option scales images to fit inside the screen used to view the images, it is the preferred method as this option is mobile friendly. 
   • Choose if you want students to be able to comment on the gallery.
