    You can control the DisplayMode of the objects and set them to be Edit or View or Disabled by adding another control (like having the button you mentioned set a variable).

     

    Consider something like:

    • Setting a button's OnSelect property to set a variable: UpdateContext({locShowControls: true})
    • Setting the objects in the gallery's DisplayMode property to: If(locShowControls, Edit, View)
