The Gallery app highlights the contents of a Files or Community folder on the
Community Overview page. The app displays thumbnails or file type icons for the
files in the folder. In IBM Connections™, you can also use the Gallery app to
display and work with thumbnails in a Library folder in the Community Overview
page.
