Choose a layout

Open Home > Your widgets > Edit > Appearance and select one of these layouts.

Grid places posts in even rows and columns. Use Grid size to choose combinations such as 6 by 2 or 3 by 3.

Carousel creates a horizontal strip that shoppers can drag or swipe.

Collage combines a larger central post with smaller surrounding posts.

Spotlight emphasizes the centered post while nearby posts remain visible.

Arc arranges posts along a curved path that rises from the bottom edge.

Scattered creates an editorial arrangement with varied positions and angles.

Grid and Carousel are available with basic feed access. Collage, Spotlight, Arc, and Scattered require Sell, Growth, or equivalent eligible legacy access.

Set the post shape

Grid, Carousel, Spotlight, and Arc support Portrait, Square, and Tall aspect ratios. Choose the ratio that best matches most of your Instagram content.

Set counts for desktop and mobile

Carousel-style layouts show separate Posts on desktop and Posts on mobile controls. Desktop supports 2 through 8 visible posts, while mobile supports 1 through 5.

[GIF PLACEHOLDER: Add a recording that changes an Arc widget from 5 desktop posts and 2 mobile posts to 7 desktop posts and 3 mobile posts, using both device previews to show the difference.]

Choose counts that keep each post readable. If cards touch or overlap, reduce the visible count or increase the space between posts. Save after checking both previews.
