# How to reuse your Gallery Section as Existing Gallery on 7.1

Feb 22

Written By Beyondspace

I the last post, I introduced the way to reuse your Gallery using Existing Gallery option of Gallery block on Squarespace 7.1. Today I will show you a practical use case on my own website: convert Gallery section to a Page with Gallery and reuse it as Existing Gallery in a new Gallery block.

The tutorial is splitted into 2 parts: create a Gallery page and insert new Gallery block

## Part 1: Create a Gallery page

On my Sélecteur de date Squarespace  has a Gallery section: Grid layout, I used it to display logos of the website that has the Datepicker plugin up and running, to convert it to Gallery page, I did the following

- First I saved the Gallery section into **Saved Section**, since I don’t want to manually upload and place the links on new page
- Make sure you installed Classic Gallery block - Freebie Squarespace plugin to add Gallery block on Squarespace 7.1
- To keep thing organized, I created a dropdown named **Classic Gallery Pages** (must be this exact name)
- Under that dropdown, create a **Blank page**, name it whatever you like
- Create a new section on the new page, insert the Saved section that contains the target Gallery
- Now you got a Gallery page ready!

Step-by-step included:
