I may be overlooking something really simple, but I can't find any info on the new feature of Backlight 3.
Embolden your albums with Hero Images when using pangolin-album.
I modified a gallery to allow hero images, but cannot locate anything in the publisher section of the backend or in the Lightroom plugin. Help!
Update: I got it to add an image, but wonder if there's a way to select from a subset of images. Portrait orientation images don't look that great.

The Hero image is the same as the Cover Image in the Base Settings of the edit/create album dialog

Loved the video Matt - it made it very simple to figure out the Hero Image. I can’t wait for more videos - thanks!
I’ve already tentatively set up the hero images on my albums and ran into a little glitch. On some pages the page break seems to work fine so the image title drops beneath the hero image when I look on my iphone, but in other albums, that use a slightly different album template but with exactly the same settings in the hero section, the album title does not display. Check out https://terrancealexander.com/galleries/projects/001/ where it works, vs https://terrancealexander.com/galleries/travels/003-12/ where it does not seem to work.
Thanks.

Matt - I ran a little experiment and discovered if there is nothing in the album copy field the title does not show under the hero image. But if I put anything in the album copy field it seems to work as anticipated. Maybe a glitch in the program?

I removed existing album copy and the Hero title remained below the image on my iPad (mobile breakpoint)
However, the title needs some padding to get it off the edge of browser.

Yes, I'm seeing the same issue. I've fixed it for our upcoming 3.0.1 update. Thank you.
Padding will probably need to wait until 3.0.2 at this point.
