What is the purpose of the Gallery control?

The Gallery control in Power Apps serves as a versatile container for displaying a collection of items or records from a data source. Its primary function is to present multiple records in a structured layout, allowing users to visualize and interact with a list or collection of data entries simultaneously. This capability is essential for applications where users need to browse through items, select one or more, or perform actions related to those records.

When using the Gallery control, developers can customize how each item is displayed, utilizing a template that defines the layout for each record. Users can easily scroll through the collection, select individual items for further action, or utilize features such as filtering and sorting to better navigate through the dataset.

The essence of the Gallery control is its ability to efficiently handle multiple records at once, making it advantageous for creating user-friendly applications that require users to view and interact with lists of information.
