- Choose the Editable Carousel widget.
- Click on the green + Slide button in the upper-right hand corner, repeating until you have created all the necessary slides.
- Additional fields can be found in the Settings tab; changing these is optional and not necessary for the function of the widget. But they will allow you to customize the widget to your liking. The fields and their descriptions are listed below;

- Navigation - By switching this to on, arrows will be displayed on either side of the widget allowing a visitor to manually navigate through the slides.

- When you are finished, click on the green Create button, and your Editable Carousel widget will show up on the page.
- Now click on the container you want to add items to, followed by the green + icon to add the necessary widgets. You can use the Layout widget to show multiple photos in a container (shown on top of each other) and the TEXT widget to display an image with text in a container.

How do I remove content from the widget?
To remove an item from being displayed by the Editable Carousel widget. Edit the widget and click on the trash icon to the right of the slide you would like to remove, followed by Update. -
How do I edit the content that doesn't show in the widget?
To edit the content that isn't currently showing in the Editable Carousel widget. Just click on the circles below the widget or the arrows to either side of the widget (depending on the settings) to scroll through the content containers.
Note - The height of the Editable Carousel widget is dependent on the items in the containers. If you have one using a Text widget with a lot of text, the Editable Carousel widget will be taller for all of the slides. Please note that some widgets placed in the containers will automatically resize to fit while others do not. For example, the Button widget will overlay containers to the right of it.
Finally, we do not recommend placing an Editable Carousel inside another due to any unforeseen problems that may occur.
