Frequently Asked Questions

How many Gallery Item blocks can I add to Media Gallery Hover Reveal?

The schema allows up to eight Gallery Item blocks, and its own note recommends using all eight blocks to achieve the intended desktop presentation.

How does the hover preview interaction work on desktop screens?

Hovering a tile shifts the opposite group, keeps the active-side group visible, and opens a larger animated preview on the other side.

How many images can each hover preview slideshow contain?

Each Gallery Item includes three optional hover slideshow image fields, and the active preview rotates through available images every second.

What happens when I do not upload images for a gallery item?

Missing main images use a standard placeholder, while missing hover slideshow images generate three placeholder visuals for that preview.

Does the interactive hover preview work on mobile devices?

No. Below 768px the preview media layer is hidden, pointer interaction on tiles is disabled, and the gallery becomes a two-column square grid.

Can I control the spacing and border radius of the gallery?

Yes. You can adjust desktop grid gap, image border radius, container padding, and container border radius from the section settings.

How does container padding behave on smaller mobile screens?

Below 768px, configured container padding is capped at 16px, while smaller values remain unchanged for a more compact mobile layout.

Can I use Media Gallery Hover Reveal inside Shopify header or footer groups?

No. The schema disables the section in Shopify header and footer groups, so add it within supported page-template section areas.
