Tabs include:
- Content: pick Existing Instagram Feeds or add a new Instagram Username. Use Refresh @username Feed to sync. Existing feeds show the last checked time, last changed time, next refresh, and any recent refresh error. Set Max Items and toggle Show Captions.
- Layout: choose Layout Type (Grid or Carousel), set Images per Row / Slides per View, adjust Gap Between Images, and control Show Arrows, Auto-play, and Auto-play Delay. Carousel layouts can use snap scrolling or a continuous scrolling mode with direction, speed, item width, and pause-on-hover controls.
- Style: choose Crop to fill each image area or Fit to keep the complete post visible. Turn on Custom Image Height to set separate desktop and mobile heights. When captions are shown, choose 2, 4, or 6 lines, or show the full caption. You can also adjust Border Radius.

Live behavior notes
- Instagram thumbnails now keep responsive loading more consistently in both grid and carousel layouts, which helps live feeds stay sharper and more stable.
- Continuous carousel timing adapts to the rendered feed width, so longer or shorter feeds keep a steadier visual pace.
- Custom image heights and caption lengths carry through to preview and published pages across desktop and mobile layouts.
- Saved feeds refresh on a schedule after they are synced, and published pages use the saved feed data instead of fetching Instagram directly for each page view.
- If a refresh cannot complete, Hiveality keeps using the last saved feed data and shows the latest error in Instagram Settings.
