I figured it out.
You first need to upload your photos and do the captions (captions add a lot to the gallery).
There is an “Attach To” column in the media library. For each photo in the library that you want to be included in the carousel, you have to click on “attach” and assign it to the page where the gallery will be.
Last, you go to the dashboard and edit the page where you want the photo gallery be. Add the short code [gallery] to this page and save the changes.
If you have a lot of photos you might consider grouping them and making a sub-page for each group with the short code on each page. Then “attach” the photos accordingly.
Hope this helps. Not sure why these instructions aren’t posted anywhere in the dashboard. It’s a really cool feature
