How to control copy on galleries page?

I have set up a test site using Backlight + Pages. It's all working fine, but I'm confused about one thing. I can control the copy on the Home page using the copy fields in Backlight>Designer>Pages>Home>Design. But I don't yet see how to control the copy on the Galleries page, the page to which my albums and album sets are published. (No Galleries page appears in the default list of pages.)

As an alternative approach, I tried creating a separate Albums page. I can control its copy using the copy fields for that page, but I don't yet see how to get my published albums and album sets to appear on that page.

Obviously there is a solution, but after several hours on this I'm still stuck. Thanks in for any help anyone can provide.

Re: How to control copy on galleries page?

The copy on the Galleries page is controlled by the Album Set template you're using for that page.

You can assign an album set template to the Galleries page by going to Publisher > Top-level Galleries and click Edit for Galleries.
There's a drop-down for Template.

What I've done is create an Album Set template specifically to use on the Galleries page.
