How to edit a Slideshow

Section settings

1. Auto-rotate slide

Enable Auto-rotate slides so the slideshow will run automatically. The duration time to change slides is between 2-10 seconds.

If you do not want to use rotation, they can disable it and use pagination or navigation.

2. General

You can change the container types, and adjust the slide height with one of these options below:

Note: When choosing "Adapt to first slide image", the slideshow's height will follow the image ratio of the first slide. It will not be cropped.

3. Mobile layout and Accessibility

You can enable/disable showing the content below images and change text alignment on mobile.

The section also lets you fill in the slideshow description for customers using screen readers.

Block settings

  2. Make necessary changes.

The recommended size is 1920x900px for desktop and 600x480px for mobile.

2. Video settings

You can also add a video for the slideshow. This video will show on both desktop and mobile.

3. Content settings

Add the slide’s heading, subheading, and description, then select the content color and position.
