To create a Lightbox gallery that is different for each page on Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create Lightbox components: Start by designing the Lightbox components that you want to use in your gallery. This may include a thumbnail grid, the Lightbox itself, and any additional elements like captions or navigation arrows. You can design these components using Webflow's visual editor.

  2. Create a Collection: Next, you'll need to create a Collection in Webflow to store the images for each Lightbox gallery. Go to the Collections tab in your Webflow project, and click on the "+ New Collection" button. Give your Collection a name, and set up the fields that you'll need, such as an Image field for the gallery images.

  3. Add Collection field to Pages: Once you have your Collection set up, you'll need to add a Collection List to each of your pages where you want the Lightbox gallery to appear. Drag and drop a Collection List element onto your page, and link it to the Collection you created. This will allow you to display the images from that Collection on the specific page.

  4. Design the Lightbox: Within the Collection List, add the Lightbox components you created in step 1, using the Collection fields to populate the content. For example, connect the thumbnail images to the Image field in your Collection, and set up interactions to open the Lightbox when a thumbnail is clicked.

  5. Style and customize: To customize the Lightbox gallery, you can use Webflow's style panel to modify the design of the gallery components. You can change colors, sizes, and positions to match your site's branding or specific page requirements.

  6. Repeat for each page: Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each page where you want to display a different Lightbox gallery. Remember to link the Collection List to the appropriate Collection for each page.

By following these steps, you can create a Lightbox gallery that is different for each page on your Webflow site. Each page will have its own Collection List, linked to a specific Collection that holds the images for that gallery.
