### **Required and Optional Fields**

* **Title (Required):** Provide a meaningful name for your gallery in the "Title" field. This name will help you identify and manage the gallery effectively.
* **Client (Optional):** If you wish to associate the gallery with a specific client, you can select the relevant client from the dropdown menu. This will link the gallery to the client's profile for easy access.
* **Auto Expiry (Optional):** If desired, you can set an expiry date for the gallery. This option ensures that the gallery becomes hidden at 11:59pm on the specified expiry date.
* **Protect Images with Watermarks:** Toggle this option to apply watermarks to your images, providing an added layer of protection for your work.<br>

Upon successful creation, you'll be redirected to the gallery show page.
