In the previous tutorial, you learned how to install the Photo Gallery add-on. Here, you'll learn how to use the add-on to create your nature-inspired photo album.
1. Open the Photo Gallery sidebar
To start using the add-on, open or create a new blank Google Sheets tab. Then select Add-ons > Photo Gallery by Awesome Table > Create / Edit a photo gallery.
2. Choose an image folder
Click Use existing album. Then select either from your Google Drive or Google Photos album > choose the image-folder > click Select. And in just a few seconds, you will see your data source populate with the retrieved images and a new browser tab will automatically open showing your generated photo gallery view.
3. (Optional) Update the image-list manually
To update the image-list manually, click the Update button.
4. (Optional) Update the image-list via the image folder
To change the image folder, click the Change folder icon and specify the new folder to use. It will prompt you if you want to edit the preexisting photo gallery.
5. (Optional) Use or modify the Google Slides presentation (Slideshow)
The Photo Gallery add-on also creates a separate Google Slides presentation (Slideshow) that you can use. More about using Google Slides.

J'ai un problème. Le module ne marche pas actuellement. Mise à jour ou création à partir d'un album Google Photos.
J'ai l'écran de “Photo listing” ou “Updating” mais ça tourne dans le vide.
Bravo pour votre travail.
Hello,
Indeed we have a known issue with this add-on but we are working on it.
We have no date to communicate but will let you know when this problem will be solved.
Kind regards.

Hello, I come back to you because the module still does not work.
I have my images in separate folders, each from a different event. How can i get Photo Gallery to read all the folders? It would not work to bunch all the photos in one folder, as I will be removing events as I add new ones in.
Hi @AROÉVEN Clermont-Ferrand.
We still don't have any update on this issue. Currently, Google Photos is not usable as image-source.

Hi @Media FoPA.
Only a single folder can be selected from the Google folder picker.
Maybe other community members can offer some tips on how to achieve your needs.
