When a customer chooses a variation, Gallery Spotlight updates the gallery to the relevant variation image, matching WooCommerce’s standard variation-image behaviour.

Customers can open the gallery in an expanded lightbox. The lightbox supports keyboard navigation; test the media sequence with product images and video so it remains clear.

If specific product types should keep their existing gallery behaviour, review the available Gallery Spotlight exclusion settings and test those products separately. Do not assume every third-party product extension uses the same gallery hooks.
