💾 Save Gallery File

Save your gallery to your computer by typing a name in the field below “SAVE GALLERY” and click “Save File”.
A file will be saved to your desktop with a name like “coolmaps-gallery.json”.
The suffix “-gallery.json” indicates a file that can be read by the Gallery Builder web app.

Versioning and Collaboration

Spend a few minutes modifying the gallery by adding and/or removing items and rearranging things.

Select a modified file – maybe your own gallery was changed? – and download it.
Open the modified file in the gallery builder to view changes.

🔑 About File Naming Conventions

Use a file naming convention (coolmapskl01, coolmapskl02) to keep track of your own versions as well as versions created by collaborators.

Attach your JSON file to an email. Maybe send it to yourself so you can find it later.
