A repeater is a list of items such as text, images, links, buttons, that have the same design and layout but have different content that is individually customisable.
When you add a repeater block, a Placeholder will appear.
This will give you the choice to set your Source or, if you haven't already set up your ACF repeater, to do so first.
Set Source will take you to the Source tab in the Primary tab where you can choose the required ACF group in the dropdown.
Create ACF Repeater will take you directly to the Custom Fields tab in the Dashboard where you can set up a new ACF field group.
Click on "Add Field Group" to create a new Field Group.
The ACF Group allows you to select a list of items to use in your repeater.
When you click Field Type, it will open a dropdown.
Select the Repeater type.
Input Field Label, which is the name of your repeater.
Click "+Add Field".
Select the Field Type you require in the dropdown: Text, Image, Gallery etc.
Input the Field Label (what you want to call it).
Click "+Add Field" to add a new Field.
Repeat the process for the different field types you want in your repeater.
