Here we show you how to create a slideshow. Slideshows allow you to display images and maintain one or more texts for those images, which are then shown within the image. The feature enables automatic switching between images and is particularly well suited for banners on the home page.
This guide is part of the Content Types. We show you how to create content in general under Creating and Editing Content.
