The new Gallery<\/a> template from ArcGIS Instant Apps<\/a> improves the experience of sharing a group of maps and layers to an audience. Combining a modern look and feel with updated settings and features, Gallery is the best way to present content from a group in a filterable and searchable grid or list. You might be familiar with our longstanding Category Gallery<\/a> template. Category Gallery has been the go-to solution for sharing content from a group in an easy-to-use web app interface for some time. The new Gallery template offers the same reliable features and more.<\/p>\n

At the June 2026 ArcGIS Online release, the Category Gallery template will be retired.<\/strong> Any existing apps you have created using Category Gallery will continue to work and be configurable, but it will use the updated app code of the new Gallery template. This will also mark the end of Category Gallery being an available template to choose from when creating new apps using ArcGIS Instant Apps. Moving forward, please check out the new Gallery template and begin taking advantage of its updated UI, feature enhancements, and configuration updates as it will soon be the replacement solution for Category Gallery.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2963130,"id":2963130,"title":"categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails","filename":"categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails.jpg","filesize":80375,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/announcements\/arcgis-instant-apps-introducing-gallery\/categorygalleryandgallerythumbnails","alt":"","author":"6781","description":"","caption":"","name":"categorygalleryandgallerythumbnails","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2962332,"date":"2026-04-17 21:42:44","modified":"2026-04-17 21:42:44","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":716,"height":380,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":246,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails.jpg","medium_large-width":716,"medium_large-height":380,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails.jpg","large-width":716,"large-height":380,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails.jpg","1536x1536-width":716,"1536x1536-height":380,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails.jpg","2048x2048-width":716,"2048x2048-height":380,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails.jpg","card_image-width":716,"card_image-height":380,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/categoryGalleryAndGalleryThumbnails.jpg","wide_image-width":716,"wide_image-height":380}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Gallery is built to make sharing and interacting with content simple. Use it to showcase items from a group in a filterable and searchable grid or list and present a collection of items that offer app users the ability to view, open, and explore all in one place. Gallery offers several different ways to filter content in the app using the filter panel, such as by category, item type, date created or modified, tags, and more. The category filter can be configured to use group categories or organization categories. A setting in the configuration lets the app creator decide which one to leverage in their app.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2957329,"id":2957329,"title":"galleryApp","filename":"galleryApp.jpg","filesize":386706,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryApp.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/announcements\/whats-new-in-instant-apps-february-2026\/galleryapp-3","alt":"","author":"6781","description":"","caption":"","name":"galleryapp-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2956339,"date":"2026-02-23 18:07:15","modified":"2026-02-23 18:07:15","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1922,"height":913,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryApp-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryApp.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":220,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryApp.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":365,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryApp.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":912,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryApp-1536x730.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":730,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryApp.jpg","2048x2048-width":1922,"2048x2048-height":913,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryApp-826x392.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":392,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryApp-1920x912.jpg","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":912}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2957330,"id":2957330,"title":"galleryCategoriesFilterSetting","filename":"galleryCategoriesFilterSetting.jpg","filesize":21996,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryCategoriesFilterSetting.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/announcements\/whats-new-in-instant-apps-february-2026\/gallerycategoriesfiltersetting-2","alt":"","author":"6781","description":"","caption":"","name":"gallerycategoriesfiltersetting-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2956339,"date":"2026-02-23 18:07:29","modified":"2026-02-23 18:07:29","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":357,"height":276,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryCategoriesFilterSetting-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryCategoriesFilterSetting.jpg","medium-width":338,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryCategoriesFilterSetting.jpg","medium_large-width":357,"medium_large-height":276,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryCategoriesFilterSetting.jpg","large-width":357,"large-height":276,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryCategoriesFilterSetting.jpg","1536x1536-width":357,"1536x1536-height":276,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryCategoriesFilterSetting.jpg","2048x2048-width":357,"2048x2048-height":276,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryCategoriesFilterSetting.jpg","card_image-width":357,"card_image-height":276,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galleryCategoriesFilterSetting.jpg","wide_image-width":357,"wide_image-height":276}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Display items in your app using Grid or List view. Each view displays the same information and items but in different layouts that can both be offered in the app. Use the “Default content layout” setting to choose which view your app displays in on load. Disable the new “Content layout toggle” setting if you would like to restrict the app to only displaying content in one of the views.
