How do I reorder files in gallery view?

Gallery view lays a board out as a mosaic of thumbnails, and the order is yours to arrange. You need edit access on the board to reorder. With view access you can browse and open files, but tiles stay put.

Select the files first

Selection in gallery works like a file browser:

• Click a tile to select it on its own.
• Cmd/Ctrl and click to add or remove a tile from the selection.
• Shift and click to extend from the last tile you selected.
• Drag across empty space to draw a marquee and sweep everything it touches.
• Double-click to open the file drawer instead of selecting.

The board toolbar's selection bar lights up with the count and size, plus the share, transfer, and download actions.

Drag to reorder

1. Press and hold on a tile.
2. Drag it to its new position. The mosaic reflows as you move.
3. Release.

If the tile you grabbed is part of the current selection, the whole selection moves as one block. If it is not, the selection is replaced and only that tile moves. This is what makes moving twelve approved shots to the front a single gesture.

The new order is saved for everyone on the board, not just for you, and teammates see it move live.

What else a tile does

• Hover a video to scrub through its frames, with the timestamp visible.
• Hover any tile to reveal its name and, for video, its duration.
• The ⋯ button in the hover overlay opens the file menu: details, go to file location, download, rename, duplicate, write tags, share, send by Brault Transfer, remove from this board, move to trash.
• The Download button in the same overlay downloads that file directly. It is hidden for canvases and links, which have nothing to download.

Right-clicking does the same as ⋯. Right-clicking a tile that is not selected selects it first; right-clicking one that is part of a selection acts on the whole selection.

If dragging does nothing

• Check your access on the board. Reordering needs edit or higher. With view access, tiles do not move.
• Check whether a filter or search is active. Reordering a filtered subset is possible, but the position you see is relative to the files currently shown.
• You may be on a published board. Public board links are read-only for visitors.
