The image carousel add-on in the editor shows several images that rotate in one place on your page. You can add a new carousel from a ready-made template, or edit a carousel that is already part of a template's design. This guide replaces an image and sets its display time in a business card's photo gallery, with no code.
How to use the carousel add-on
Step 1: Open the image carousel add-on
On the left side of the editor toolbar, click the Carousel button (1). A panel opens with the carousel templates.
Step 2: Choose a template for a new carousel
The Carousel panel lists three templates in the Basic category, among them Coverflow. The other two are Fade and Scale, and their names are not shown in this image. Double-click a template (1) to add a new carousel to your page. You can also look for a template in the Search template field.
Step 3: Select the carousel on the page
In a template that already has a carousel, click the carousel on the page (1). In this example it is the Photo Gallery of a business card. To add and replace images in a business card, see also the image carousel of a digital business card. A selection frame appears around the carousel.
Step 4: Edit the carousel content
Next, click the settings icon in the top toolbar. As a result, the carousel settings panel opens. Here you set Slides Per View, Centered Slides and Shadows. Click the Edit Content button (1) to work on the images.
Step 5: Find the image in Media Sequence
The Media Sequence window opens with every image in the carousel. Each image has an edit and a delete button. Click the pencil icon (1) next to the image you want to replace. This window works like the Media Sequence add-on.
Step 6: Replace an image
In the Media Item Settings window (its title is not shown in this image), click the Change File button (1).
Step 7: Set the display time
The Duration (seconds) field sets how many seconds the image is shown (1). Change the value with the plus and minus buttons. Click Done (2) at the bottom of the window to confirm, then click Close in the Media Sequence window (not shown in this image).
