Slideshow

Images Video

Slideshows are useful for presenting multiple images and videos within one space along with associated headings, descriptions and buttons.

Main settings

Slideshow type	The Slideshow has two main type options: Multi message: Each slide has an image and text content which changes together Single message: The text content remains the same whilst the background images change Depending which type of slideshow you require will dictate how you build and edit the slideshow. If you choose ‘Multi message’, any heading, text or buttons set within the main section settings will be ignored.
Slideshow height	Choose from ‘Full screen’ (section will re-size to the screen height), large, medium or small.
Media scale	By default, images and videos will cover the width of the section for a 'full bleed' look. Alternatively, you can select 'Contain' to scale the images to fit within the height of the section.
Animation settings	Here you can set the transition type (fade or slide), transition speed, arrows on/off, autoplay on/off.
Text	If using ‘Single message’ slideshow type, input your required heading, text and buttons. You can also choose the text position, text alignment and text size. Note: If text alignment is set to left or right, the navigation arrows automatically move to the bottom of the slideshow to avoid obstructing the text.
Buttons	You can add text and links for up to two buttons, and set the button style (solid, outline or link).
Color scheme	Choose the foreground and background color scheme, as well as the button color scheme.
Overlay darkness	Applies a dark overlay over the image/s to improve contrast against text, if required. You can set the darkness from 0-50%.

Add a slide

By default the slideshow has 3 blank image slides inserted. To add a slide, click the “Add slide” button. Select either a video slide or an image slide.

Edit a slide

To edit a slide, click into it within the sidebar menu. You can then add an image or video, heading, text and button. All content is optional - if you simple want an image slideshow with no text just leave the text fields blank.

Remove a slide

To remove any slide, hover over it in the sidebar menu and click the delete icon. You can also hide slides which removes the slide from the live website but keeps it within the editor (useful if you want to keep the slide content for possible future use)

Re-order image slides

To re-order slides, click and drag them within the sidebar menu.
