Hi there! I’m new to Squarespace and figuring a lot out on my own, although it’s been quite time consuming. Silly questions but 1- what is the difference in the gaps in the grids? One allows the grids to be tight and the other allows spacing.

2nd question- I’ve been researching everywhere to change the arrows on a gallery slideshow but i believe I’m describing it incorrectly. This is a slideshow that is on a product page (not a slideshow I created by adding a block). Again not sure of the terminology i should be using. Below is a picture of the arrows. I’m able to change the color, but they looks so plain. Please help! Ideally I’d like for them to be circular somehow.

I’m new to Squarespace and figuring most of it out, but feel I’m wasting a lot of time with product image uploads. When I upload the product photo of course Squarespace wants to zoom & crop it, so I’ve been using Canva which is becoming very tedious with all my photos. Squarespace is also covering the arrows on my slideshow because the image is too big. Here is exactly what I have been doing and I truly hope they’re an easier way.

Make a 2000 x 2000 image in Canva with an inner frame of 1600 x 1600. I then place my image in the inner frame. I keep the inner frame white and make the outer frame black to match my website background. This prevents my image from cropping and the black outer frame allows me to see the arrows on the slideshow. I feel there has to be an easier way to do this with hundreds of photos. Hope this makes sense as well!

Please help! Is this an easy fix or do I need to just keep doing what I’m doing?
