# Use an Existing Gallery

#### When to use an existing gallery

Reusing a gallery keeps related photos collected in one place. This makes it easier to run multiple presets or booths while keeping all photos together, both for participants and for managing your account.

Each preset sends its photos to the same gallery, even if layouts, graphics, or settings are different. This allows you to change the booth experience without splitting photos into multiple galleries.

**This is a good fit for:**

* Permanent installs
  * All your photos will be collected in the same place over time
* Venues running multiple booths at the same time
  * Venues can place booths in multiple high-traffic areas while keeping all photos in a single shared gallery.
* Ongoing activations or tours
* Multi-day or multi-location events
  * Tours or traveling activations can use a new preset for each date or city while collecting all photos in one gallery.

#### Reusing a gallery

When creating a new preset, you will be prompted to link it with an online gallery.&#x20;

1. [Create your preset](/copy-of-halo-app/basic-setup/create-a-preset.md), then advance to the gallery settings.&#x20;
   * The system will default to creating a new gallery using the same name as the preset.&#x20;
2. Select the **Existing** tab
3. Use the dropdown menu to choose your gallery.&#x20;
