The carousel feature allows you to showcase multiple slides of content and/or inventory on your homepage. The carousel will automatically progress through the slides in the order you choose. The customer has the option to pause the slides or manually choose which slide to view.
Click on 'Manage Carousel' under the 'Content' heading on the Control Panel menu. Then, click on 'Add New Carousel Slide.'
The 'Content' tab will appear with the 'Carousel Content Type' already set to 'My Content.' Add the details you would like to appear on your slide.
Next, click on the 'Image' tab to browse and upload your image.
Then, click on the 'Advanced' tab. The 'Status' will be automatically set to 'Active.' An active slide will be published to your website after you click 'Save.'
If you do not wish to publish the slide to your website yet and would like to save it as a draft, change the 'Status' to 'Inactive.'
If you would like to specify the order of the slide, you can add a letter/number next to 'Sort.' When you are finished, click 'Save.'
In the example below, the slide will be published upon saving and will appear as the third slide.
