Adding a photo to a dynamic list & gallery pages

Upload & add a tag to a photo (or remove)

Adding a photo to a dynamic list can be used for photo galleries. In order to use this you will need to create a new tag and add that to a dynamic list

See an example of a Photo Gallery Page/ Photos added to a dynamic list here

Gallery pages allow you to store photos and format them however you want - See how to style Gallery pages

  • Click the BYU logo in the top left to navigate to the brightspot home page

  • Select a photo to upload (download if needed and rename to something you will remember) 
  • Drag this photo over to the “Upload” box and drop the file

    *The image below was downloaded from byuphotos.com

  • Then this page will open>> 

  • Fill out the following fields

(photos from photos.byu.edu have information that comes with them even when it doesn’t show)

  • Alt Text
  • Caption
  • Credit
  • Source
  • Copyright notice (if needed)
  •  Add a tag

*For this example I will be using the Photo Contest 2022 tag. You will need a tag previously created in order to add a photo

Check if the photo is added

- Go to the dynamic list that the tag you used is located.

- This example is under the photo contest of 2022 (Life Science site)

- Scroll down to see the Tag

Removing Photos from Gallery Pages/ Removing tags from Photos
- Go to the search bar - the photo should show up 

- Type in the photo that you added

- Remove the tag

- or Archive the whole photo by selecting the three dots on the top right
