According to Lightroom Journal, the November update to Lightroom on the Web has a capability to add sections and headers to "shares" (the blog post is here: Raw Technology Preview for Lightroom for Android and Major Lightroom on the Web Improvements). You are supposed to be able to select photos to share, then "add sections by clicking between two photos and then add titles and information about each section". When I try this, nothing happens. I first tried it with a collection that I have already made public, then tried it by selecting photos in "All Photos", then made a test collection that isn't yet public and tried it there. Nothing seems to work. I am using Firefox.

Has this new feature worked for anyone? Is there some sort of trick to getting it to work? Are there more comprehensive instructions located somewhere? And what is the difference between Shares and a Collection that's simply been made public?

In All Photos, you can select photos - but then you hit the Share icon at the top. You then get two choices including Lr Web Gallery. Choose this.

Basically there are two ways to share, the old way which was through an existing collection which syncs with Lr, and the newer web-only way where you select the photos in the browser and share them.
